Andhra Pradesh Junior Doctors Strike Continues as Contract Staff Begin Agitation
Junior doctors in Andhra Pradesh continue their strike after talks with Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav yielded no progress, primarily over stipend hike demands. The government cited financial constraints and offered smaller annual increases, which the doctors find inadequate. Meanwhile, contract and paramedical staff have initiated a phased agitation, citing unresolved grievances and lack of government response. Both groups seek government intervention, with further negotiations anticipated amid ongoing protests affecting the state's health department.
