HYDERABAD: Condem­ning ‘misbehaviour’ of the Badin district administration with doctors, Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) president Dr Agha Taj Mohammad has demanded of the Sindh government to immediately pay stipend to postgraduate (PG) students of medicine.

In a statement issued here on Tuesday, Dr Taj said that in other provinces, the stipend of Rs65,000 was paid to PGs, but in Sindh they had been getting neither the old per month stipend of Rs45,000 for the past 14 months, nor was it being increased. He called for increase the stipend to Rs65,000 from Rs45,000.
