27/08/2019, STAFF REPORTER,CHENNAI
With the indefinite fast by a group of government doctors entering the fourth day on Monday, the Federation of Government Doctors Association (FOGDA) has decided to go ahead with its token strike on Tuesday. Barring emergency services, doctors would boycott outpatient services, ward management, elective surgeries and classes across the State.
Six doctors, including three women, launched an indefinite fast on August 23 on the premises of the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital. Their demands including grant of pay band-4 at 13 years of service and 50% service quota for post graduation. Two of the doctors on fast were admitted to the hospital after their health condition deteriorated. The remaining four were continuing the fast. Perumal Pillai, one of the doctors on fast, said there was still no response from the government. “We are expecting good response for the token strike,” he said.
