Nagaland In-service Doctors Association (NIDA) Friday maintained that all its members will continue to wear ‘black armbands’, as initiated on January 25 2021, to register resentment towards the state government for non-implementation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s package announced on May 26, 2016 to enhance superannuation age of medical doctors in the country.
Nagaland In-service Doctors Association president Dr. E. Phyantsuthung said this was resolved at the core committee of NIDA’s executive body meeting on superannuation on March 19.
NIDA said while most states had already implemented PM’s commitment, it had not escalated its agitation in view of the positive assurance received from the state Health minister . A representation pertaining to the ongoing issue was also submitted to the chief minister, it added.
The meeting resolved that further course of action will depend on the response of the state government.
