JUDA Flags Delay in Junior Doctors' Arrears
The Junior Doctors Association (JUDA) in Hyderabad is worried because the government hasn't paid the money owed to junior doctors for the first half of 2025.
Even though the bills have been approved by the department, the government hasn't given the final okay.
This means doctors from the 2021 and 2022 batches might not get their rightful pay.
JUDA has been asking the government to fix this for months, but nothing has happened yet.
They want the government to approve the payments quickly so doctors get what they deserve.
JUDA expressed concern over the delay in releasing arrears for junior doctors from January to June 2025.
Bills have been cleared at the departmental level but await government approval.
Postgraduate doctors from the 2021 and 2022 batches risk losing their legitimate arrears if the issue is not resolved.
JUDA has made multiple representations and follow-ups since June 2024, but no action has been taken.
The association appealed to the state government for immediate approval and release of all pending arrears.
