Rajasthan Chemists Threaten Strike Over Unpaid Dues
Imagine you're a chemist and you sell medicine to people using a government health plan.
The government owes the chemists money, about 880 crore rupees!
But they haven't been paying on time, and lots of bills seem to have disappeared.
The chemists are really worried because they're losing money and can't pay their own bills, like their kids' school fees.
They've asked the government to fix this, but nothing has happened.
Now, the chemists are planning to go on strike to get the government to listen and pay them what they're owed.
Chemists in Rajasthan are threatening a strike.
The strike is over unpaid dues from the Rajasthan Government Health Scheme (RGHS).
Approximately Rs 880 crore in payments are pending.
Over three lakh bills have allegedly disappeared from the scheme's portal.
Chemists claim they are facing financial losses and inability to pay their dues.
