Government doctors, including veterinary, medical, dental and rural medical officers and medical teachers, on Monday formed a joint front and announced to go on strike on June 25.
The government doctors are protesting against pay commission’s recommendation on decrease and de-linking of non-practising allowance from basic pay.
The doctors are arguing that the recommendation of sixth pay commission will reduce their salaries drastically. Earlier, the doctors were planning to go on a strike on June 23, but after assurance of resolving the issue was given by health minister Balbir Singh Sidhu, they postponed the strike to June 25.
Before launching their state-wide agitation, government doctors associations, including Punjab Civil Medical Services Association, Punjab State Veterinary Officers Association, PCMS Dental Association, Medical Teachers Association, Rural Medical Doctors Association, announced to form a common platform ‘Joint Government Doctors Coordination Committee, Punjab’.
Senior vice-president of the PCMS Association Dr Gagandeep Shergill said that the pay commissions were always constituted to make a realistic increase in the salaries of the employees.
