J&K Medical Interns Resume Strike Over Stipend Hike

Medical interns in Jammu and Kashmir resume their protest, alleging that a promised stipend increase has not been implemented

SRINAGAR, October 20: Medical interns in Jammu and Kashmir have resumed their protest over a pending increase in their monthly stipend, according to a report published by The Indian Express on Tuesday.

The interns had suspended their earlier strike in September after the government reportedly requested 30 days to address their demand. They say that the agreed period passed without a formal order implementing the increase.

The renewed protest has reportedly spread across medical colleges, with interns also organising a candlelight march to draw attention to their concerns. They are seeking a clear government order rather than another assurance.

The dispute highlights concerns about the financial support provided to medical interns, who undertake clinical duties as part of their training. The interns argue that their stipend should reflect their responsibilities and the demands of medical education.

The immediate impact on hospital services, the number of participating interns and the government's latest response should be independently verified before publication. Emergency and essential patient services must remain a priority during any protest.
