Youth Congress Demands Action on Alleged PIMS Intern Stipend Cuts
Imagine you're an intern doctor, and the government says you should get a certain amount of money.
But, one hospital, PIMS, is only giving half of it.
Angad Dutta, from the Youth Congress, is speaking up.
He says the hospital is ignoring the rules set by the government, who said the interns should get around 22,000 rupees each month.
He is now asking the government to fix this problem.
Punjab Youth Congress secretary Angad Dutta alleges PIMS is paying MBBS interns half their mandated stipend.
Dutta claims PIMS interns receive Rs 11,000 monthly, not the required Rs 22,000.
The Department of Medical Education & Research, Punjab (DRME) mandates a Rs 22,000 stipend for MBBS interns.
Dutta has filed a formal complaint to state and central health authorities.
Dutta is seeking urgent action to address the stipend violation.
