Bhopal Doctors Protest Over Stipend Hike Demand
The intern doctors said the Madhya Pradesh government had verbally assured them that their stipend would be increased. However, no official order has been issued so far.
Following the delay, the doctors decided to march towards the Chief Minister’s residence to meet Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and present their demand.
Intern doctor Mohit Mishra said the protesters wanted to meet the Chief Minister peacefully, but the administration deployed a heavy police force outside Hamidia Hospital.
“We first raised our demand through constitutional means and followed all the rules. We decided to march only after our concerns were not heard. Our protest is completely peaceful,” Mishra said.

Hamidia Hospital Protesters Clash With Police
Police had surrounded the hospital premises and placed barricades near the gates to stop the doctors from marching towards the Chief Minister’s residence.
During the protest, some intern doctors allegedly broke through the hospital gate and police barricades. They then reached the main road near Fatehgarh and staged a sit-in protest.
Videos from the spot reportedly showed some protesters attempting to cross the barricades while police personnel tried to stop them. Police subsequently used a water cannon to disperse the protesting doctors.
One intern doctor sustained injuries after being hit by the water cannon and was taken to hospital for treatment.
