Kerala Medical College Teachers Plan Protests Over Grievances
Doctors who teach at medical colleges in Kerala are upset.
They haven't been paid properly, and there are problems with their salaries and not enough staff.
They're planning to protest by holding candlelight vigils and sit-ins to get the government's attention.
If the government doesn't fix things, they might stop teaching or even stop seeing patients.
The doctors want their money, fair pay, and enough people to do their jobs so that students and patients get good care.
They are frustrated that the government has promised to fix things but hasn't.
The Kerala Government Medical College Teachers Association (KGMCTA) announced protests.
Protests include statewide candlelight vigils and sit-ins at medical colleges.
Faculty grievances include unpaid salaries, allowance arrears, and staffing shortages.
The association is escalating actions due to inaction from the government.
Further actions may include teaching boycotts and outpatient service strikes.
