The Karnataka Association of Resident Doctors (KARD) had called for a protest urging the government for the immediate release of Covid risk allowance and timely payment of stipend for postgraduate and interns. The association has also demanded a restructuring of the academic fee.
The association has alleged that the Karnataka government has not released Covid risk allowance even six months after giving assurance, due to which they are resorting to indefinite strike.
Medicos and health workers have waged a war for over a year against the Covid pandemic by pledging their lives. The government had announced Rs 10,000 allowance every month from April 2021 for all resident doctors but has not released the fund yet, which amounts to showing negligence towards the service of frontline workers, the release by Association read.
