The morning today was spent enlisting the support of our esteemed teachers in NHL and BJMC. They showed their support for our movement by working with black arm bands today. We also received invaluable tips and ideas from them.
All of us gathered again in the grounds at the Civil Hospital. Innovative and creative ideas to get our message across to the people came thick and fast from an excited, buoyant crowd. We look forward to implementing as many of them as possible.
An email campaign has been running for 2 days now. We are looking to spread our message to as many people as possible, locally as well as nationally. Email IDs of volunteers from each college were collected today. Whosoever wishes to join and help us spread the message is welcome to do so. Just send a message to gard.gujarat@gmail.com or resident.doctor@yahoo.com and we will send u the content to be sent across.
Today, the first year DM and MCh students had to join duties due to a problem with their admission process. They did so with the utmost regret, pledging full support to the strike and with permission from GARD. The second and third year DM and MCh students are still on strike with us. Also, university registrations of around 30 students from NHL were cancelled today. These students are unfazed and have unanimously affirmed their continued support.
In a very positive development, the State Health Minister Mr. Jaynarayan Vyas has invited representatives from GARD to initiate negotiations. Developments on this front will be published on this page.
The day ended with a candle light vigil on the grounds symbolizing hope and a clearer path ahead.
Plans for tomorrow include a parallel OPD at VS Hospital and a medical camp at Gandhi Ashram, and of course a continuation of the email campaign.
it was a great feeling today.. everyone was in high spirits.. setbacks occur in every war.. but the important thing is to keep your morale high..

it is not demotivating us bt we are not happy.
we will win this battle and create history.
ReplyDeletekeep it up core committee.
we are with u.
I agree to GARD1st. Initially you guys had claimed so loudly about mass resignation. where have you hidden now? Also, we need to add lot of drama and masala in day-to-day activity,it is loosing the charm now. Think about fast, hunger strike,dharna on income tax etc.

ReplyDelete@khyati - as an initiative for dialogue has taken place, a mass resignation campaign is not currently on the cards. that will be for the core committee to decide if and when to use it. and as regards the more aggressive measures u have recommended, u need special permissions for those which is not possible under esma.
ReplyDelete@ani - u do not seem to understand the whole situation ani. kindly provide your email id, we will send you the reasons as to why we are on strike. it's not just about money.
