TTGDA seeks peripheral allowance, special transfer policy

The members of Telangana Teaching Government Doctors Association (TTGDA) on Thursday urged the State government to resolve their long-pending issues at the earliest.

In a general body meeting, the members of the TTGDA decided to launch a more aggressive and decisive approach to resolve long-pending issues. A decision on holding



daylong protests in all government hospitals will be announced soon, TTGDA said.

The TTGDA’s main demand is implementation of peripheral medical college allowance for all doctors engaged in government medical colleges outside Hyderabad, in line with the Rural Service Allowance recommended by the Parliamentary Standing Committee.
