Amiloaded gathered that the medical experts who rounded off a meeting few hours ago today took a defintive stand on the issue and down tools.
According to a close source to the meeting, the Association’s action is unconnected to the payment of modulated salaries to its members by the state government, non- implementation of federal government salary scales for doctors despite implementation of federal govt tax regimen and the refusal to pay six months salaries when the union went on strike last year.
