Srinagar | September, 07: The ongoing agitation by MBBS and BDS interns across Jammu and Kashmir escalated on Monday as protesting doctors initiated a 48-hour hunger strike to press for an increase in their monthly stipend from Rs 12,300 to Rs 30,000.

Health activists have appealed for high-level intervention to resolve the stalemate and prevent further disruption to patient care and academic training.
