Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 11 (ANI): Doctors at the Gandhi Hospital in Hyderabad continue to stage a protest and boycott their duties at state's COVID-19 dedicated hospital here on Thursday.
The doctors at the state-run hospital continued to protest against the authority despite the state Health Minister Eatala Rajender's visit on Wednesday.
One of the doctors said: "The doctors have not attended the patients since Tuesday night. The health minister had arrived after 24 hours of the protest. We have given a letter to the Superintendent of Gandhi Hospital. We will protest unless our demands are fulfilled."
The doctors are demanding to decentralise Gandhi Hospital for COVID-19 in the State.
"We are not going to resume our duties until our demands (decentralisation of COVID cases) be fulfilled in a time-bound manner by honourable Chief Minister/Health Minister sir," read the letter.
For the doctors on contract, they have demanded to convert the service of present doctors who are working for 3-4 months to permanent services, the doctor added.
Gudur Narayan Reddy, Congress said, "The Health Minister could not give heat to the doctor's demand. All this is leading to a chaotic situation. It is an irresponsible way of conducting themselves as government heads, especially during this pandemic."
Telangana State Junior Doctors Association started protesting on Tuesday after attendees of a COVID-19 deceased entered the hospital and beat up a doctor. The incident happened after the patient was declared dead in the ICU ward of Gandhi Hospital. (ANI)

TMC's jibe at Centre amid LPG crisis due to West Asia conflict

In an 'X' post, TMC said the government has "ek hi naara, line mein rahe desh bechara," pointing to past governmental measures including demonetisation, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the Special Identification Registration (SIR), and now the LPG shortage. The party described demonetisation as a "Tughlaqi farman" that forced ordinary citizens to wait in serpentine queues outside banks and ATMs for days to access their own money. The post also highlighted the 2020 COVID-19 oxygen crisis, when families stood in long lines outside hospitals and suppliers as the public health system collapsed.
