Doctors to wait for 2 months before launching agitation

 [IST]
Aizawl, Sep 3 (UNI) The Mizoram Government Doctors' Association(MGDA) has agreed to wait for two more months for the Cabinet to solve their pay anomalies.

An MGDA press release issued here today said, ''Considering the the inconveniences caused to the public, we have decided to wait for two months as per the Cabinet's assurance to solve our pay anomalies. ''If the government fails to meet our demands within two months from the day of notification of the new pay scale - August 28, 2007 - we will leave no stone unturned to win our rights.'' The new pay scale, which claimed to have solved the pay anomalies of Group A officers, engineers and doctors, overlooked the doctors' pay anomalies and was therefore unacceptable to them, the MGDA said.

Meanwhile, the doctors were optimistic regarding the Cabinet's promise of ''cadre review'' to solve their problems within two months.

The Cabinet had decided on July 19 that the government would opt for the Central pay structure for its employees.

''We are very optimistic that our pay scale will be restructured within the ambit of the Central health services,'' the MGDA added.
