Haryana doctors threaten pen-down strike on December 9 over pending demands

The government doctors in Haryana have threatened to observe two-hour pen-down strike on December 9 in support of their four long-pending demands seeking greater promotion opportunities, better pay packages, and the need to address the scarcity of specialist doctors in the State, among others.

In a two-page letter to the Additional Chief Secretary, Health, the Haryana Civil Medical Services Association (HCMSA) said the members of the association had expressed strong resentment against the “callous attitude” of the government towards their long pending demands in a meeting earlier this month and expressed concern over its “insensitivity” towards undue delay in addressing the various issues.

The ACS Health has invited the association members for a meeting on Wednesday to discuss the issues raised by them.
