The drama begins. Threaten with strike action then discussions and strike called off. Deception at its best.

The government should listen to these poor people's requests. They should be paid enough to survive with at least 2 meals a day.

This is totally my opinion - may be not mine alone - but I feel that it won't be long before doctors are treated by their patients one day if things continue to happen this way.

Thank you for calling off the strike. Otherwise, doctors will be the most hated section of society as a strike however legitimate it may be, can cause lot of misery to the children who may lose their parent(s) due to delayed or no medical intervention. Negotiations without strikes is the only way out.

Please give what the doctors and other hospital staff members ask if someone thinks that I am mad make a visit to a hospital and see their routine, working with limited resources taking care of so many patients, then carry out surgeries till early hours in the morning back to the wards after few hours of rest, these people are human too rupees and cents can recover but one of them leave that vacuum is hard to fill for a long time.

Thos appears to be an election tactic. The trade unions threaten to strike and the call it off. Another creative way of deceiving public to vote for NPP in upcoming LG polls. This has been happening now for couple of months
