Resident doctors have been promised a stipend hike of Rs 10,000, bringing the total to Rs 90,000. Around 8,000 resident doctors across the state were set to go on strike from Wednesday, disrupting essential medical services in Maharashtra. However, it was called off after a joint meeting between medicos, Medical Education Minister Hasan Mushrif and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.
Interestingly, just a day before, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Aaditya Thackeray had posted a picture on X (formerly Twitter) featuring him with office-bearers of the Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD). In his post, he mentioned that the conversation revolved around concerns such as hostels for junior and senior doctors, timely payment, and a stipend increase.
