COIMBATORE: Continuing with the demand to reinstate 50% reservation for post-graduate admissions government doctors said they will go on a mass casual leave on Monday. "Many of them have taken up postings in rural areas, where even preparing for the NEET exam is difficult. Only the emergency, casualty and trauma doctors will be in attendance, said a press statement from the Tamil Nadu Government Doctors Association As a result, more than 100 government doctors in the district are likely to be on leave on Monday. "The quota was introduced by the government many years ago in a bid to encourage young doctors take up government postings in rural areas. More than a decade ago, no doctor wanted to work in rural areas and would refuse government jobs," said Ravishankar.
