The teachers are demanding better service conditions. They complained that of the six government medical colleges in the State, promotions of assistant professors was being delayed only in BIMS.
There were discrepancies in other service conditions too, they said. “We have written repeatedly to the State government but in vain,” they said. They urged the government to promote assistant professors and restore the status of senior resident doctors to permanent tutors.
The strike will continue till the government addresses these issues, said a release by S.V. Ksheerasagar, president, and Satish Mudbi, general secretary.
