Moreover, if demands like filling up 2,000 vacancies and pay hike were not met then the doctors would stop working from Thursday, Oct 15.

Demands for regularization of contract doctors were accepted.
However, the government promised to soon take care of matters.

“Our concerned minister will talk to concerned doctors afterward we'll take necessary action," said B S Yeddyurappa, the Karnataka chief minister.
