Srinagar: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), senior All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has said that the demand of MBBS and BDS interns for an increase in their stipend is justified, urging the authorities to address it seriously and urgently.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Mirwaiz, in a post on X, said the monthly stipend of Rs12,300 was inadequate for young doctors who perform important duties and work for long hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe concerns raised by MBBS and BDS interns across JK deserve serious and urgent consideration. A stipend of Rs 12,300 is clearly inadequate for young doctors working long hours and carrying significant clinical responsibilities,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe administration should engage with the interns, address their genuine demand fairly and expeditiously, and ensure that patient care is not disrupted,\u201d Mirwaiz said.<\/p>\n

The statement came as the indefinite strike by MBBS and BDS interns across occupied Jammu and Kashmir entered its sixth day on Saturday. The protesting interns are demanding an increase in their monthly stipend from Rs 12,300 to Rs 30,000.<\/p>\n

The interns launched the strike on August 31 and withdrew from routine duties at government medical colleges and hospitals across the territory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
