Kohima: Doctors in Nagaland began the 3-day mass casual leave on Monday to protest against the state government’s inaction concerning the superannuation age of the medical doctors.
The protest was called by the Nagaland In-Service Doctors Association (NIDA) after the completion of the one-year written assurance by the Chief Secretary that the matter regarding the superannuation of the medical doctors would be resolved within a period not exceeding one year. NIDA demands to raise the retirement age to 62 years.
Doctors at the Naga Hospital Authority, Kohima (NHAK), the lone district hospital in Kohima, told EastMojo that despite the mass casual leave, all doctors are in station to ensure that patients requiring emergency medical care are attended, and only routine Outpatient department (OPD) has been stopped.
