They want the State government to implement a pay band revision
The Legal Coordination Committee for Tamil Nadu Service Doctors has decided to stage a protest on January 19, demanding that the State government implement a Government Order regarding their pay band revision. The doctors said they should be paid arrears from 2017, as mentioned in the G.O. numbered 354.
The doctors want the release of the amended G.O. on the Corpus Fund, which should provide a solatium of ₹1 crore for COVID-19 and non-COVID deaths, irrespective of the cause. The amount should be exempted from tax and should be credited to the employee’s account within four weeks of death, the doctors demanded.
