Low dose, high pressure: Medics refuse to operate under bond-ageResident doctors begin indefinite strike at Patiala medical college over stipend bond and fee hike.
1 2 Patiala: Hundreds of young doctors walked off the job at Govt Medical College on Saturday, forcing a near-total shutdown of outpatient care and non-critical procedures here, as anger mounted over low stipends and compulsory service bonds in Punjab's public health system. More than 500 resident doctors and medical students launched an indefinite strike, paralysing services and demanding the state govt address what they call untenable working conditions. At the heart of the protest are calls to scrap the two-year compulsory post-MBBS service bond and increase stagnant stipends, which the doctors say are among the lowest in the country. "The govt has ignored repeated appeals. We've been left with no choice," said Dr Ramandeep Singh, who led the protest alongside colleagues Dr Milan, Dr Mehtab Singh, Dr Akshay, and Dr Gurbhagat Singh. The doctors also oppose a proposed hike in MBBS tuition fees at govt colleges to ₹10 lakh, which they argue will deepen the financial strain on students who struggle already to stay afloat during their intensive training. Patients seeking consultations and scheduled surgeries were turned away at the hospital gates, many voicing support for the doctors. "They're the ones who save lives. They shouldn't have to protest for fair treatment," said one patient outside the shuttered outpatient department. While emergency, maternity and critical child health services remain operational, the Resident Doctors Association has vowed to continue the strike until the govt offers written assurances. A meeting with state officials is slated for Monday, which could determine whether the agitation ends or intensifies. "This is not just about stipends. It's about sustaining the healthcare system and treating frontline workers with dignity," said an RDA spokesperson. MSID:: 122130238 413 |

Actor and model Shefali Jariwala, popularly known as the 'Kaanta Laga girl", tragically passed away on the night of June 27. At the age of 42, she is believed to have suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. In another recent case, 27-year-old textile trader Rushabh Gandhi collapsed due to cardiac arrest inside his shop in Surat's Padmavati Textile Market. CCTV footage shows him slumping while seated, with no apparent warning signs. Just a few months earlier, in April, 20-year-old Varsha Kharat, a student in Maharashtra, collapsed while delivering a speech during her college farewell event—an incident that was also caught on camera and widely circulated. These back-to-back incidents raise a deeply worrying question: why are seemingly healthy young Indians succumbing to heart-related emergencies? News18 Mobile App -
