Andhra Pradesh Junior Doctors Continue Strike, Seek Government Response on Demands
Junior doctors in Andhra Pradesh have been on strike for over ten days, suspending emergency services in government medical colleges to demand a stipend increase. Despite peaceful protests, including a beach rally in Visakhapatnam, the state government has yet to respond. The strike has full participation from interns and specialists, with medical associations urging the government to engage in talks. Doctors warn they may intensify their agitation if their concerns remain unaddressed, while patient services continue to be disrupted.
