New Delhi: The Delhi Government on Tuesday issued termination notices to over 700 doctors of state-run hospitals who are on a strike against reservation.
"Medical superintendents in Delhi Government hospitals have started issuing notices to striking doctors this morning," said Health Secretary D S Negi.
The doctors have been asked to resume duties within 24 hours or risk termination of service. The Government published ads in newspapers on Tuesday to recruit junior and senior doctors, Negi said.
Interviews for hiring new doctors will be held on May 24. There are 45 Delhi Government hospitals, of which LNJP, GTB and DDU hospitals, are the worst affected by the strike.
The Government had requested the Defence Ministry to lend it Army doctors. Negi said the the Army has said it can give doctors for one hospital at a time.
"The Army has asked us to give a concrete proposal on lending its doctors for the Delhi Government hospitals. It has said the Army doctors can be deployed in only one hospital at a time. We are examining it," Negi said.
