Demand to bring TVVP under Min of Health Services

The Telangana Government Doctors Association (TGGDA) has expressed deep dissatisfaction, stating that when the Congress government came to power, thousands of Telangana government doctors welcomed the change with great hope. They believed that the long-awaited reforms of the past two years would finally materialize and that doctors working under the Telangana Vaidya Vidhana Parishad (TVVP) would receive a permanent solution to their salary issues. However, contrary to these expectations, the situation has worsened and become increasingly distressing.

Hundreds of government doctors working under TVVP continue to wait every month for their salaries. TGGDA pointed out that even as of today—despite the date being the 25th of the month—several doctors have still not received their salaries, causing severe financial hardship and mental stress. This, the association stated, is a clear indication of administrative failure on the part of the government.

Bringing TVVP Under the Directorate Is the Only Permanent SolutionTGGDA categorically stated that the only permanent solution to the recurring salary crisis is to remove TVVP from the corporation system and bring it under the Directorate of Secondary Health Services (DSHS). Although this issue has been brought to the notice of the concerned authorities multiple times, it is deeply unfortunate that no clear decision or concrete action has been taken so far.

To ensure a permanent and lawful solution to the salary issues faced by TVVP doctors, the government must immediately introduce a Bill in the State Assembly and establish a clear statutory framework, TGGDA demanded. Any further delay in introducing the Bill would only push thousands of government doctors into continued uncertainty and financial distress.

TGGDA urged the government to act responsibly even now and put in place a permanent system that ensures salaries are credited to TVVP doctors on the first day of every month. Failing this, the association made it clear that it is prepared to initiate further course of action.

Strongly condemning the government’s negligent attitude, TGGDA demanded immediate and decisive steps to resolve this long-pending issue. Telangana Government Doctors Association (TGGDA) president Dr. Narahari Bapanpally, Dr. Lalu Prasad Rathod,Secretary General,Dr. M. K. Rauf, Treasurer and others have been demanding the government to resolve the issue.
