Hyderabad: The Telangana Teaching Government Doctors Association (TTGDA) Hyderabad, on Wednesday, expressed their full support to the Joint Action Committee (JAC) of the Unions of Employees, Teachers, Pensioners and Gazetted Officers that had released a 16-point document on Tuesday mentioning their long-standing issues.
They said that the main resolutions that the body put forth before the government are also related to teaching doctors.
"Since regular transfers did not take place for last 11 years, we want the Telangana employees, gazetted officers, teachers, workers, and pensioners to consider our support and demands to be presented to the government as well," said Dr Kiran Madhala, General Secretary, TTGDA Hyderabad.
Mentioning their demands, the representatives said the general transfers have been pending since 2013. "Transfers that happened in 2018 did not give priority to long-standing employees. Hundreds of doctors are stuck in peripheral medical colleges. We need general transfers without any
ceiling (preferably not less than 50%) with long-standing employees as the top priority," Dr Madhala said.
They also demanded peripheral medical college allowance (hardship allowance) for the doctors working in all peripheral medical colleges out of Hyderabad, working with a 20% loss in their respective salaries compared to their counterparts in Hyderabad.
They expressed their unconditional support to JAC's demand for the Old Pension Scheme, Employee health scheme, clearance of all pending DAs and promotions to be held with counselling process only, in all cadres.
