Government doctors in Haryana ended their indefinite strike on Saturday after receiving assurances from the state government that their demands would be met.
The strike, which began on Thursday, was called off following a meeting between representatives of the Haryana Civil Medical Services Association and Amit Aggarwal, additional principal secretary to the Haryana chief minister, on Friday.
The association's president, Dr. Rajesh Khyalia, confirmed that the strike had been called off and that the government had agreed to accept the doctors' demands, including a career progression scheme, reduction of the bond amount for postgraduate courses, and formation of a specialist cadre. The government has assured to notify these demands before August 15.
"We have called off the strike," he said.
The strike, which involved around 3,000 government doctors, had severely impacted medical services in state-run hospitals across Haryana.
However, with the strike now lifted, doctors have resumed their duties, and medical services are expected to return to normal. The resolution comes after a series of meetings between the association and government representatives, including Rajesh Khullar and Sudhir Rajpal.
