Overview

The Federation of Government Doctors Associations (FOGDA) in Tamil Nadu announced on Saturday that it will begin an indefinite hunger strike on March 5, citing the State government's inaction on their long-pending demands for pay revision and career progression.

FOGDA represents nearly 15,000 government doctors across Tamil Nadu, has been advocating for the fulfilment of four key demands: implementation of GO 354, which has been pending since 2017, to compress the present DACP to provide early PB4 to Government Doctors, Allotting Rs. 3,000 for Primary Health Center (PHC) doctors, reinstating the 1500 posts that were lost due to the implementation of GO4 (D)2 H&FW dt15.02.2019, and providing stand-alone PG increments.
