Medicos flay `eviction' from hostels
HYDERABAD
Jan. 6.
On the 26th day of the statewide agitation by junior doctors, members of the Joint Action Committee of the Andhra Pradesh Junior Doctors' Association on Tuesday staged a demonstration before the house of the Health Minister, Kodela Sivaprasada Rao, protesting against the Government decision to get the medicos vacated from hostels attached to the Osmania/Gandhi Medical Colleges.
The demonstrators displayed placards on their demands, such as scrapping of the GO 90, and denouncing the Government health policies. They held empty buckets, tumblers and "kanduvas."
In a statement, the committee cautioned the Government that its members would not be cowed down by arrests and threats of getting them vacated from hostels. It said the agitation would be further intensified by resorting to indefinite hunger-strikes throughout the State till the demands were conceded.
The statement while pointing out that the health condition of Uday, who is on an indefinite hunger-strike at Vijayawada since four days, was deteriorating, criticised the Government for being "indifferent" to the demands. The committee deplored the Government's alleged attempt to drive a wedge among the striking doctors by spreading falsehood that they were divided and had difference of opinion on the agitation.
Meanwhile, the Andhra Pradesh Council of AITUC and the Central Service Associations presented a memorandum to the Governor, Surjit Singh Barnala, today, seeking his intervention to settle the long-drawn strike by junior doctors.
A statement issued by P. Nageswara Rao, general secretary of the AITUC AP council, said the Governor assured members of the delegation that he would address the State Government on the issues raised by them.
In another related development, the Hyderabad City committee of the CITU urged the Government to refrain from getting the medicos vacate their hostels. Instead, the State administration should strive to end the strike.
