AP Junior Doctors Continue Strike Over Stipend Hike Demand

The strike by junior doctors in Andhra Pradesh continues as their demand for a higher stipend remains unresolved. The state government has proposed a 5 percent increase in the stipend, but the junior doctors have expressed dissatisfaction with the decision. They argue that the proposed hike does not adequately address their concerns.

The junior doctors are demanding a 15 percent increase in their stipend. They have also expressed anger over what they describe as the lack of a fresh government announcement on their demands. With the doctors continuing their protest, further discussions between the government and the junior doctors are expected to determine the next course of action.
