The Madhya Pradesh high court ordered the striking junior doctors to revert back to work within 24 hours and termed the 4 days old strike as “illegal”. But the protesting doctors remained defiant and submitted resignation and announced they will challenge the ruling.
The junior doctors have put forward multiple demands before the state government, including a hike in stipend and free treatment for them and their families if they contract the deadly coronavirus infection.
In an interview , Madhya Pradesh junior doctors association (MPJDA) secretary Ankita Tripathi confirmed that nearly 3000 junior doctors have submitted their resignations. “The government didn’t accept our demands but only gave us assurance so we did not end our strike” she said.
