as almost  1,200 post-graduate students, 1,000 interns and 200 super speciality students participating in the strike, ward duties, out-patient services as well as elective surgeries in all government hospitals have been near paralysed for 10 days now.

The emergency and trauma services have not been boycotted by the junior doctors.
The AP Junior Doctors Association (JUDA) warned that the strike will not be called off until the government gives them a written consent stating that all their demands will be met.
Demands:
Timely payment and hike in stipends, deployment of special protection force at the hospitals, provisions of emergency, medical and lab infrastructure in hospitals, and reduction in compulsory rural service from three years to one year are among their demands.

The government had released an additional amount of Rs. 34.12 crore to disburse their stipends and that adequate provisions are also being made to ensure timely payment of the stipends.
