Strike
- The association was on strike starting Feb 27, 2006 due to inhuman working conditions and recent increase in assault on them from relatives of patients; additionally the Maharashtra Govt failed to implement the Central Residency Scheme, which was supposed to address the inhuman living conditions provided to them in their living quarters. The strike ended on March 11, 2006, with an increase in pay to 12500 INR and assurances to form a committee to look into their problem. None of it was given in writing as demanded earlier by the striking doctors.

Famous quotes containing the word strike:
“We are the men of intrinsic value, who can strike our fortunes out of ourselves, whose worth is independent of accidents in life, or revolutions in government: we have heads to get money, and hearts to spend it.”
—George Farquhar (1678–1707)
“Man, at least when educated, is a pessimist. He believes it safer not to reflect on his achievements; Jove is known to strike such people down.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“Besides, our action on each other, good as well as evil, is so incidental and at random, that we can seldom hear the acknowledgments of any person who would thank us for a benefit, without some shame and humiliation. We can rarely strike a direct stroke, but must be content with an oblique one; we seldom have the satisfaction of yielding a direct benefit, which is directly received.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
