JAIPUR: The resident doctors of SMS Hospital will go on a strike from Saturday. They are agitated by the state government's move for not including them in the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission.

Dr Akhilesh Mishra, secretary, Jaipur Association of Resident Doctors, said here on Friday. "The state government has neglected the doctors by not giving them their due," he added.

The resident doctors have demanded that all the doctors be included in the single pay scale under band three of Sixth Pay Commission. There arrears should be paid in cash, they demanded.

"The result of this demand would be that resident doctors will get an equal stipend. Further, this will reduce the inequality among stipends given to doctors," added Mishra. The emergency services, medicine, gynaecology and Neuro Surgery, will be worst effected by the strike.
