Opposing the governments policy of not regularising contractual doctors before six years service,a joint action committee (JAC) of protesting doctors has resolved to meet Health Minister Rajeev Bindal before chalking out their strategy to intensify the struggle.

Bindal has agreed to meet the doctors on June 21 along with senior officials of the health department to listen to their demands.

Amit Rathore,state coordinator of the JAC,said: The government must scrap the policy of six years service and make only regular appointments of the doctors in the larger interest of the state. The JAC comprises Resident Doctors Association (RDA),contractual doctors of rogi kalyan samitis (RKS) and Himachal Medical Officers Association (HMOA). The representatives of all wings held a detailed meeting on Sunday and listed out their four major demands to be taken up with the government on Monday.

If the government does not agree to meet our genuine demands,we will intensify our struggle, said a spokesman.

The state government has,meanwhile,appealed to the doctors to resist from creating any crisis in the medical services. There have been ongoing talks on the issues raised by the contractual doctors,and the government has assured them to take it up at appropriate levels.
