The Madhya Pradesh High Court has recently directed the government hospital doctors to resume work with instant effect who went on indefinite strike earlier in the day.
The division bench of Chief Justice R Malimath and Justice Vishal Mishra stated that the doctors shall not go on strike without seeking the permission of the court as a PIL on the issue has been pending before the court.
Therefore, in February 2023, the PIL was filed by Inderjeet Kunwarpal Singh (former corporator of Jabalpur Municipal Corporation).
But they called it off later.
From April 12 – May 2, 2023, the doctors observed 2 hours strike every day, the lawyer added that from Wednesday they went on indefinite strike.
However, the demand of the agitating doctors includes facilities for their colleagues posted in rural areas and an end to alleged bureaucratic interference.
The agitation is being arranged by different medical associations under the umbrella body of the Madhya Pradesh Shaskiya Swashasi Chikitsak Mahasangh after failed talks with the government.
The Mahasangh claimed that nearly 13,000 doctors are participating in the protest.
