Nearly 16,000 government doctors across Madhya Pradesh went off-duty for two hours on Thursday morning to protest what they called 바카라œbureaucratic interference in their work and promotions바카라 and threatened to go on an indefinite strike from Friday if their demands are not met.

The doctors from state-run medical colleges, hospitals and primary health centres struck work between 10 am and 12 noon, said a doctor바카라™s body leading the agitation. 

MP Medical Education Minister Vishwas Sarang could not be immediately contacted as he was busy with a function. State Health Minister Dr Prabhuram Choudhary also couldn바카라™t be reached despite repeated calls.

바카라œEven junior doctors and those in other government hospitals have joined us. Around 16,000 government doctors across the state joined our 2-hour work-abstaining move,바카라 Dr Avinash Thakur, general secretary of the Medical Teachers바카라™ Association in Bhopal, told PTI.

According to the protesting doctors, bureaucrats often prevail upon them to operate and treat patients according to their wishes. 바카라œIf things do not improve, we are going to abstain from work from tomorrow,바카라 he said.

Thakur said that they also want the implementation of an all-India doctor promotion policy in the state. 바카라œMP is the only state in the country that is not following the Dynamic Assured Career Progression (DACP) Scheme meant for government doctors바카라™ promotions,바카라 Thakur said. Another doctor said, 바카라œWe are facing too much interference. They are meddling in our day-to-day functioning.바카라
