Deadlock between medicos-AP government continues

Hyderabad: Striking medicos in Andhra Pradesh continued their agitation on Tuesday in support of their various demands, including hike in stipend, while a mediation attempt was made to end the deadlock.
"The Telangana government doctors association sought some clarifications from us to speak to the government. We gave that. But we have not received any communication from the government so far. We are ready for talks if invited," Phani, a leader of the junior doctors association said.
Asserting that it has accepted majority of the demands of striking medicos, the government had appealed to them to end their agitation.
"The government is fully sympathetic towards the agitating medical students. We have accepted 11 out of their 13 demands. The stipend has been hiked to over Rs 20,000. It is not fair to demand Rs 29,000 or Rs 39,000. At least now, they should think wisely and end the agitation," state Medical Education Minister K Murali Mohan had said on Sunday last.
While the government announced that it accepted 11 out of the 13 demands, it has not done anything concrete over the demands and is not ready to give it in writing, Phani had said.
The medicos have been agitating for about a month now in support of their demands. They held talks with government several times but the issue remained unresolved.
