Paying heed to agitating resident doctors in four medical colleges, the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) or Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) has decided to release their stipend arrears since May 2020. A senior official from the BMC said that order have been issued as per the desire (of resident doctors) and the issue now stands resolved.
In a circular issued on 7 May 2021, Dr Mohan Joshi, dean of Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Medical College and General Hospital (LTMGH), says, "...the regular monthly stipend of resident doctors in municipal medical and dental colleges is increased by Rs10,000 from 1 May 2020. This is besides the increment given to resident doctors during COVID pandemic. All deans and their accounts officers are requested to calculate the arrears by 14 May 2021 and clear the payments by coming week end. This should be treated as most urgent."
