Jr doctors try to stall PG counselling, held
More than 100 junior doctors were taken into custody when they tried to protest against the counselling for post-graduate doctors at the office of Director of Medical Education (DME), Koti.
Hyderabad: More than 100 junior doctors were taken into custody when they tried to protest against the counselling for post-graduate doctors at the office of Director of Medical Education (DME), Koti. The DME, which originally wanted to hold the counselling at Osmania Medical College, decided to change the venue since the junior doctors had threatened to obstruct it as they were demanding withdrawal of the order which had made one year rural service mandatory.
When the junior doctors came to know about the change of venue, they went to the office of DME and staged a dharna. The police arrested the junior doctors. Protesting against the arrest, they alleged that the police had manhandled them. “They arrested the doctors who were peacefully protesting and treated us like criminals,” said Dr G Srinivas, president Telangana Junior Doctors Association.
Srinivas said government had taken a unilateral decision to conduct the counselling without even consulting the stakeholders. The junior doctors have been opposing the GO 10, which was issued in 2013 in undivided Andhra Pradesh that makes one year rural service mandatory. However, the doctors have been demanding scrapping of the GO after State was separated.
Following their arrest, doctors at the Osmania, Gandhi and MGM (Warangal) hospitals decided to boycott all the services including elective and emergency.
