The medicos staged sit-ins and demonstrations in various cities like Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada.

They raised slogans against the state's Congress government and also displayed placards on which appeals, addressed to UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and other top leaders to listen to their problems, were written.

They demanded clear guidelines for posting in rural areas and strengthening of government hospitals as per the guidelines of Medical Council of India (MCI).

The agitation by the junior doctors, which started a few days ago, inconvenienced the patients visiting government hospitals.

Meanwhile, Principal Secretary (Health) K R Kishore appealed to the medicos to call off their stir and resume duties.
