AYUSH medicos protest for higher stipends in Secunderabad

House surgeons and PG AYUSH scholars who have been protesting for increased stipends for the past 17 days stormed the AYUSH Commissionerate office in Secunderabad on Thursday, demanding justice for their cause.

With the State government not taking any conciliatory measures, the medicos and PG scholars, on behalf of Telangana AYUSH Joint Action Committee (AYUSH-JAC), have been trying to meet senior health authorities and hold



discussions over their demands.

On Thursday, nearly 100 Ayush medicos and PG scholars turned up at Ayush Commissionerate office to meet senior health officials. “They have been avoiding holding talks with us. 

We will continue to protest till our demand for a rise in stipends is met by the State government,” said Dr Anurag Singh, vice-president, Telangana State Ayurveda PG and House Surgeons Association.
