AIIMS Medical Superintendent clarifies on salary

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: Medical Superintendent and Officiating Faculty In-charge of the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences D.K. Sharma on Saturday denied that the institute Director P. Venugopal had issued an order for release of salary for the resident doctors for the period they were on strike during the recent anti-reservation protests.

"If any such order has been issued regarding sanction or release of salary of the resident doctors for the strike period, it is null and void, since no administrative or financial approval has been granted," he said in a statement.

"There is no question about the resident doctors being paid for the strike period. Communication to this effect by the administration happened because of misrepresentation of facts," Dr. Sharma said. He clarified that Dr. Venugopal's order "only pertains to completion of the scheduled academic term of the residents."

However, the Resident Doctors' Association on Friday claimed that Mr. Venugopal had ordered adjustment of the strike period for 17 days, from May 15 to May 31, against extra hours of duty put in by the resident doctors earlier.
