The Tamil Nadu Government Doctors Association has gone on a state-wide strike. Barring emergency services, doctors would stay away from work at all government hospitals, including PHCs.
The Tamil Nadu government announced late Tuesday night that employees of South Korean electronics giant, Samsung, have called off their 37-day-long strike at Sunguvarchatram plant. The primary demand for recognition of the CITU-affiliated union has been put on hold.
Thousands of trucks were stranded since morning across the state following truck owners' call for a 72-hour strike starting today.
The primary reason for the strike includes the adverse effect these app based services have caused to their earning and means of livelihood of the auto drivers.
Besides, five more persons sustained severe burn injuries as they were exposed to the outdoors during the lightning strike.
Banking and postal services are largely affected in the two-day countrywide shut down, called by several trade unions backed by the anti-BJP parties, including the Congress and the Left parties. Transport sectors were also affected due to the strike.
The DDMA had announced to reopen higher educational institutions and coaching centres, along with schools for classes 9-12, from Monday.
The strike was called after a meeting between the members of the Federation of Resident Doctors' Association (FORDA) and Joint Commissioner of Delhi Police.
The doctors have said that they will not participate in OPD as well as Emergency services. Due to the strike OPD and emergency services of center run Ram Manohar Lohia hospital, Safdarjung hospital, Lady hardinge hospital and Guru Tegh Bahadur hospital were affected.
FORDA has called a pan-India meeting on November 29 as well. Speaking to ANI, Dr Manish, FORDA President said, "Resident doctors did not attend the Sunday OPD. FORDA will hold a meeting tomorrow post-lunch. We will discuss the ongoing issues."
