MBBS interns protest in UP over stipend issues

The MBBS interns in Uttar Pradesh Government Medical Colleges across 14 districts of the State have been protesting against the meagre amount of stipend they receive during their internship programme.

For the last five days, the medicos have been boycotting their hospital duties demanding a stipend hike. Claiming that they receive the lowest stipend i.e. Rs 12,000 per month across the country, the UP MBBS Interns have demanded that the amount should be raised to at least Rs 30,000 per month.
