Andhra Pradesh Junior Doctors Strike Continues Amid Stipend Dispute and Telangana Support
Talks between the Andhra Pradesh government and striking junior doctors failed to progress as doctors rejected the government's proposed stipend hikes, which included a 5% increase for interns and no change for junior doctors and senior residents. The doctors, on strike for 15 days, had reduced their demand from a 30% to a 20% hike citing fairness concerns. Meanwhile, the Telangana Junior Doctors' Association expressed solidarity, criticizing the proposed hikes as inadequate compared to revisions in Telangana and Karnataka, and supported demands for academic and faculty-related reforms.
