Mangaluru, Feb 12, 2020: House surgeons from KMC serving at Wenlock Hospital have begun a dharna on February 12, Wednesday in protest against the non-disbursal of their stipend since the past ten months.
The protestors alleged that their stipend has not been disbursed despite a written order from Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on December 24 last year to release the stipend amount.
As per the agreement reached upon between KMC and the government, these house surgeons have been offering service at Wenlock, Ladygoschen and other designated primary health centres.
