Resident doctors in Rajasthan threaten to go on strike

JAIPUR: Resident doctors in the state have threatened to go on strike from 8 am on Monday, if their demands are not met.

They have been protesting apprising the state government of the problems they have been facing due to the delay NEET-PG counselling. 

For the last seven days, the resident doctors have been boycotting the outpatient departments (OPDs) and indoor services. For the last two days, they have been boycotting work at the ICUs and labour rooms in hospitals attached to medical colleges across the state. 

"We have decided to go on strike from Monday. We have submitted a memorandum of our demands to the state government four days ago and nothing has been done. We are now going to boycott work from 8 am on Monday," said an agitating resident doctor. 

The agitating doctors said that if the state government took positive steps towards their demands, they were ready for talks. The NEET-PG counselling got delayed due to a matter related to the reservations at Supreme Court which is sub-judice.
