Doctors in PoJK Threaten Strike Over Unmet Demands

Doctors in PoJK Threaten Strike Over Unmet Demands

Doctors in a part of Kashmir controlled by Pakistan are very upset.

They say the government hasn't listened to their problems for a long time.

These problems include not getting promotions, not having enough medical equipment, and not being paid extra money they should get.

They also say some doctors, especially women, are not safe.

The doctors say they have tried to talk nicely, but nothing has changed.

So, they are planning to go on strike starting January 26.

This means they won't see regular patients for two hours each day for two weeks.

If the government still doesn't listen, they might close all hospitals after February 2.

They just want the government to fix these problems so they can take care of patients better.
