Why were the resident doctors on strike?
Resident doctors were on strike since 8 March because the government was not paying the pending amount of the seventh pay scale between 2016 and 2019. Earlier, from March 1 to March 8, the doctors had protested by putting a black badge, but after that the doctors went on strike after negotiations with the secretary and RIMS director failed.
