AIIMS doctors on hunger strike

Prashant Pandey

NEW DELHI: Following the passing in the Lok Sabha of the Bill providing 27 per cent reservation to OBCs in government-aided educational institutions, a dozen members of the Resident Doctors' Association of the AIIMS went on an indefinite hunger strike on Thursday evening.

RDA president Kumar Harsh said a meeting of the general body of the RDA took place where it was decided that a dozen doctors would begin an indefinite strike from 9 p.m. He said the doctors would, however, continue to attend duty and services at the AIIMS would not be affected. The Bill did not take into account the Veerappa Moily Committee report that had suggested implementation of reservation in a phased manner.
