Resident senior and junior doctors who abstained from elective duties at government hospitals across Telangana on Wednesday and emergencies on Thursday called off their agitation in the night.

The strike was withdrawn after the government issued an order enhancing the stipend of senior residents by 15%, up from ₹70,000 to ₹85,500 per month with effect from January 1 last.

However, the resident doctors had been demanding the hike from January 2020.
