The statewide indefinite strike of Ayush doctors comprising ayurveda, yoga, unani, sidda and homoeopathy practitioners entered the second day on Thursday. Protesting against the alleged indifferent attitude of the state government, Ayush doctors are demanding better pay scale and filling of vacant posts. However, refuting the impact of the strike health officials said that services in Ayurveda and Homeopathic hospitals functioned as normal.
"The Ayush department has failed to utilise a budget of Rs 18 crore and vacant posts have not been filled despite assurances from the government," said AYUSH doctors association state president Dr Ajay Awasthi. "We have received support from some 24,000 Ayush doctors in the state," he added.
