Bhopal MBBS Intern Doctors End Stipend Protest

Protesting medical interns call off their strike following concrete assurances from the health minister.

MBBS intern doctors at the government-run Gandhi Medical College in Bhopal officially called off their intense agitation on Wednesday following a successful round of talks with state authorities. The medical interns had been staging demonstrations to demand an immediate upward revision of their monthly stipends. The protest escalated previously when local police utilized water cannons to disperse the gathering, resulting in minor injuries to four doctors and prompting a formal investigation by the Bhopal Police Commissioner. The strike concluded after the state health minister intervened directly, offering concrete assurances that the government would review the stipend structure and address the financial grievances of the medical community in a time-bound manner.
