Himachal doctors to initiate black-badge protest over denial of non-practicing allowance
Overview
Raising their voice against the denial of non-practicing allowance to the specialist doctors in the State and several other issues, the Himachal doctors have decided to initiate a symbolic protest from January 18 onwards by wearing black badges to work.
The Himachal Medical Officers Association (HMOA) has highlighted that the specialist doctors, employed on a contractual basis in the state, are only getting Rs 33660 as salary, which is the lowest in the whole country.
Issuing a press release in this regard, the General Secretary of the association Dr. Vikas Thakur further claimed that even though the Chief Minister had last year assured the association that NPA would be re-attached in case of future appointment of doctors, it has not been included till date.
