VIMSAR junior docs call off stir after Principal’s assurance

Burla: Junior doctors at the Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Science and Research (VIMSAR), Burla called off their cease-work agitation today after an assurance by the institute's Principal that election of the Junior Doctors' Association (JDA) will be put on hold.

Notably, the medicos had staged the stir earlier in the day protesting the Principal’s decision to dissolve the Junior Doctors' Association (JDA) of the VIMSAR. They had gheraoed the chambers of the VIMSAR director and the Principal.

The decision to dissolve the JDA before its term ends in December this year had drawn the ire of the junior medicos.

Though not a recognized body, JDA has been raising various problems and issues of the students at VIMSAR.
