YS Jagan Urges Naidu to Resolve Junior Doctors Strike

YSRCP chief and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday urged Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu to immediately hold talks with protesting junior doctors and resolve their demands, saying the ongoing strike was affecting medical services in government hospitals. 

In a post on X, Reddy said nearly 9,000 interns, postgraduate doctors, super-speciality doctors and senior residents from 19 government medical colleges across the state had been protesting for the past two weeks over the



revision of their stipends.

He said, "@ncbn garu, will you force junior doctors, who save lives, onto the streets and put the lives of poor patients at risk? Nearly 9,000 interns, postgraduate doctors, super-speciality doctors and senior residents from 19 government medical colleges across the State have been protesting for the past two weeks. 

Why have you not responded to them? Why have you withheld the stipend revision that, as per the rules, should have come into effect from January 1?"
