Medical services remain crippled in Rajasthan
Over 8,000 government doctors go on indefinite mass leave
Medical services across Rajasthan continued to remain crippled for the second day on Tuesday as more than 8,000 government doctors went on an indefinite mass leave.
Though the In-Service Doctors' Association claimed that several senior doctors had resigned, the State government denied having received any papers.
Separate cadre
Talks of the doctors’ representatives with Medical and Health Minister Kalicharan Saraf over the demands, including the formation of a separate cadre and fixation of new pay grades, were continuing till late on Tuesday evening. The alternative arrangements made in the government hospitals with the deployment of doctors from the Army and railways proved insufficient.
According to the reports reaching here, patients approaching the primary health centres, community health centres and district health hospitals for treatment had to return due to the absence of doctors.
