Kohima, April 17 (MExN): The Nagaland In-service Doctors’ Association (NIDA) on Saturday decided to call off its proposed agitation, after State Chief Secretary offered to resolve the issue of superannuation age of the doctors in the State within a year.
According to a DIPR report, a meeting with the office bearers and representative of the Nagaland In-service Doctors’ Association (NIDA) was held under the chairmanship of the Chief Secretary Nagaland and other senior officers at the Chief Secretary’s Conference Hall, Kohima on April 17 to deliberate on the issue of superannuation age of doctors and NIDA’s proposed agitation.
