JAMMU, July 11: Dental Surgeons Associations (DSA) continued their fast-unto-death for the seventh consecutive day and dharna for the 11th consecutive day at Ambphalla Chowk Jammu.
Raising slogans, the unemployed dental surgeons were demanding their jobs and a separate Directorate for Dental Health.
President of the Association Dr Asif Iqbal Choudhary questioned the State Government for its ill and arrogant attitude towards the fulfillment of genuine demands.
He added that the after the completion of BDS there is no scope for post graduation as only 12 seats are available in the State for pursuing PG course that too in Government Dental College Srinagar. There is no employment opportunity in the State as last PSC recruitment for dental surgeons was conducted in 2008, he added.
Dr Choudhary said that yesterdays march was in a peaceful manner and was just a warning and to convey a message to the Government that if the demands of unemployed dental surgeons are not redressed at the earliest then agitation will take a very serious and harsh nature and Government will be responsible for any uneventful step taken by the unemployed dental surgeons.
He also stated that their agitation will not be called off till their demands are not fulfilled by the Government.
He demanded complete absorption of unemployed dental youth, recruitment of dental surgeons on every year basis and establishment of Directorate for Dental Health in the State.
