Government doctors in Haryana have launched an indefinite strike, disrupting services in state-run hospitals. The strike, organized by the Haryana Civil Medical Services Association, is a protest against the non-fulfillment of various demands including the creation of a specialist cadre, a career progression scheme, and a reduction in the bond amount for postgraduate courses. The doctors are demanding to be on par with their central government counterparts and are concerned about direct recruitment of senior medical officers.
