T.N. Government Doctors Suspend Indefinite Fast After Hospital Dean Denies Protest Permission

On March 5, 2026, doctors from the Federation of Government Doctors Association (FOGDA) began an indefinite fast at Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (RGGGH) to demand revisions to pay, promotions, allowances, and increased doctor posts. The protest was halted midway after the hospital dean denied permission for the fast on campus and police intervened. FOGDA condemned the denial of protest rights and plans to decide further actions in an upcoming executive meeting.
