Medical interns in Jammu and Kashmir have demanded a formal written order confirming the announced stipend hike, urging authorities to issue the document without delay.
Medical interns across Jammu and Kashmir have collectively called for a formal written order confirming the recent stipend hike announced for their training period. The interns argue that a documented order is essential to ensure transparency and timely disbursement of the increased allowance.
The demand was voiced through a coordinated statement circulated among hospitals and medical colleges in the region. Interns contend that verbal assurances have led to confusion and delays, and a written directive would provide legal clarity for both the trainees and the paying authorities.
As of now, the health department and hospital administrations have not issued the requested order. The interns have warned that continued ambiguity may affect morale and the smooth functioning of medical services during the internship year. The issue is being closely monitored by local media, including Kashmir Life.
