Medical interns in Jammu and Kashmir have called off their strike following assurances from the government on their key demands. The protest had focused primarily on the need for an increase in the monthly internship stipend and improved working conditions.
The agitation had intensified in recent days, with interns raising concerns over long working hours and inadequate remuneration. At Government Medical College Jammu, interns had been seeking a revision of their stipend, with the government assuring them that the amount would be enhanced within a month.
With the strike now suspended, interns are looking to the government to fulfil its commitment within the promised timeline. The development brings temporary relief to the situation, while the formal implementation of the stipend revision remains the key issue to watch.
