They demanded the appointment of doctors who had completed super-speciality as assistant professors on a contractual basis with a monthly salary of Rs 1.25 lakh.
They also demanded a fair admission system for Telangana as well as Andhra students. Additionally, they demanded that the 15% reservation for Andhra students be removed.
JUDA stated that the government previously cited MCC as a reason for not issuing new orders. However, with the elections now over, the government’s continued neglect of their demands has forced them to call for a strike, it added.
