Doctors’ body condemns denial of permission for hunger strike

The Legal Coordination Committee (LCC) for Government Doctors has condemned the denial of permission for government doctors to undertake a hunger strike demanding the fulfilment of promises, including pay band 4 for government doctors.

The LCC said in a statement that it was shocking that the police denied permission to the Federation of Government Doctors’ Associations to proceed with an indefinite hunger strike at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital on March 5.
