The Doctors’ Association for Social Equality (DASE) has urged the government to pay stipend for trainee doctors of Sivaganga Medical College. The students have suspended work as they had not been paid stipend for the past two months.
According to DASE general secretary G.R. Ravindranath, the students told him that for the past five years, fees in excess of the stipulated amount had been collected and that the college had not issued any receipt.
He also alleged that similar complaints were being received from other government medical colleges too. He said the government should initiate action against the corrupt college officials and return the excess money taken from the students, he said in a release.
