New Delhi: The resident doctors of the premier AIIMS on Saturday called off their protest against “improper implementation” of the 7th Central Pay Commission’s recommendations.
The protesting doctors continued to work while fasting. They will hold a peaceful protest in front of the residence of Union health minister J.P. Nadda seeking a conversation with him over the issue.
“We conveyed the message about the side-effects of working empty-stomach in high-risk areas like the hospital setting but unfortunately we did not receive any response or a or a tweet from a minister,” AIIMS Resident Doctors’ Association president Harjit Singh Bhatti said.
The doctors had alleged that revised allowan-ces under the 7th Central Pay Commiss-ion (CPC) had been implemented in other Central government hospitals.
