Himachal Pradesh Grants Full Salary to Doctors on Study LeaveIn a significant policy shift, the Himachal Pradesh government has announced that allopathic doctors pursuing postgraduate (PG) courses, senior residency, or Doctorate of Medicine (DM) programs will now receive their full salaries during their study leave. This decision, directed by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, aims to support medical professionals in advancing their education without financial constraints. Previously, a cabinet decision had reduced the salary for doctors on study leave to 40%, which deterred many from seeking further specialization due to financial concerns. The recent change reclassifies the period of advanced study as 'on duty,' ensuring that these medical practitioners continue to receive their full remuneration while enhancing their qualifications.Chief Minister Sukhu emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating that postgraduate medical students balance patient care responsibilities with their educational commitments, which is vital for both their professional growth and the state's healthcare system. By ensuring full pay during study leave, the government aims to support their dedication, enhancing both the quality of training for doctors and the healthcare services available to the public. This policy change is expected to lead to better patient outcomes and foster a more robust healthcare system, ultimately benefiting communities throughout Himachal Pradesh. The Himachal Medical Officers' Association has expressed gratitude for this decision, noting that the previous provision of only 40% salary was discouraging. The Chief Minister's swift and empathetic solution has significantly boosted morale among medical professionals. By investing in the professional development of its doctors, the Himachal Pradesh government aims to enhance the quality of medical services within the state, ensuring that residents have access to specialized and advanced healthcare without the need to seek treatment elsewhere.

Kashmiri MBBS Student Alleges Severe Ragging at Al-Ameen Medical CollegeKashmiri MBBS Student Alleges Severe Ragging at Al-Ameen Medical College In a deeply concerning incident, a second-year MBBS student from Kashmir, identified as Hamim, has reported severe ragging and assault by senior students at Al-Ameen Medical College in Vijayapura, Karnataka. The alleged abuse occurred following a cricket match altercation, escalating into physical and psychological harassment. According to the victim, the confrontation began when seniors from the 2019 batch objected to his presence near the cricket ground during a match between the 2019 and 2022 batches. Despite complying with initial requests to stay away, tensions escalated as seniors reportedly humiliated him, forcing him to perform an 'Al-Ameen salute,' sing, and dance. They allegedly attempted to coerce him into a car, implying further harm. When he resisted and tried to document the incident on his phone, their aggression intensified. Later that evening, a group of six to eight individuals allegedly stormed into Hamim's hostel room, subjected him to a brutal beating, and coerced him into recording an apology video under duress. They issued threats, warning him of dire consequences over the next four years and prohibiting him from participating in cricket during this period.In response to the complaint, the Vijayapura police have arrested five senior students: Mohammed Zainul (23), Sameer (24), Shaik Sawood (23), Mansoor Bhasha (24), and Muzzaffer alias Mujeeb Jamadar (23). They have been charged under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Karnataka Education Act, 1983, pertaining to assault and ragging. The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) has strongly condemned the incident, urging Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to intervene and ensure justice for the victim. They emphasize the necessity for stringent anti-ragging measures to protect students, especially those from outside the state. This incident highlights the persistent issue of ragging in educational institutions, underscoring the urgent need for effective enforcement of anti-ragging policies to safeguard student welfare. #Ragging #StudentSafety #MedicalCollege #Karnataka #JusticeForHamimIn a deeply concerning incident, a second-year MBBS student from Kashmir, identified as Hamim, has reported severe ragging and assault by senior students at Al-Ameen Medical College in Vijayapura, Karnataka.
