Day three of SSG resident doctors strike for acknowledgment of NEET counseling demands

On Wednesday, the doctors wore black and presented their demands to the administration once more. Besides the adamant strike, they apologized for the two days they had been gone from emergency services.

• SSG Hospital resident doctors continue on their strike for the third day in the row. They demand to start counseling for the new intake, which will help them relieve the workload requirements.

The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) PG 2021 counseling procedure has been delayed, prompting resident doctors to stage a nationwide protest. The resident doctors of the R2 batch in SSG sit-in protest in front of the superintendent’s office, carrying placards and posters, demanding that the new batch’s counseling process get started and that they get help to relieve their burden.

“For the second day in a row, we apologize for not being able to contact emergency services. Since the commencement of the Covid epidemic one and a half years ago, the R2 Batch resident doctors have been working continuously. The exam will be held in September due to the current situation, and counseling will not begin until then. We demand that the procedure gets started as quickly as possible and that the expected R1 Batch be allowed to serve and share their workload and burden.” one of the resident doctors who was protesting adds.
