Junior doctors begin indefinite strike

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: Services in Government teaching hospitals across Andhra Pradesh were partly affected on Thursday as junior doctors began an indefinite strike demanding that the Government stop giving permission for new private medical colleges and improve the standards in the existing institutions.

The Andhra Pradesh Junior Doctors Association, which is spearheading the agitation, however, spared the emergency services from the strike. It wants the Government to implement the report of Justice Jeevan Reddy committee and cancel the essentiality certificates given to 15 private medical colleges by the previous Government.

The Government made alternative arrangements to avoid any dislocation of services on account of the strike, according to a communiqué issued by the A. P. Vaidya Vidhana Parishad.
