Overview
- District administrations in Nuh, Gurugram and Faridabad imposed BNSS Section 163 no‑gathering orders around hospitals and deployed duty magistrates and police to safeguard services.
- Health authorities activated contingency rosters using National Health Mission staff, medical college trainees, AYUSH practitioners, retired doctors and empanelled private clinicians to keep emergencies and labour rooms operational.
- Impact was uneven: Gurugram’s Civil Hospital reported long waits with trainees handling OPDs and 70–80 of 104 doctors off duty, while Ambala officials said OPDs and other services ran as usual.
- The doctors’ association seeks scrapping the 25% direct‑recruitment quota for Senior Medical Officer posts and formal rollout of a modified assured career progression scheme it says remains stalled.
- HCMSA leaders cited earlier meetings with senior officials and warned they will move to an indefinite strike if their demands are not addressed.
