House surgeons from Kasturba Medical College Hospital serving at the government Wenlock hospital staged a dharna on 12th February in protest against non-disbursal of stipend for the past ten months.

The protestors alleged that their stipend has not been disbursed despite a written order from Chief Minister on December 24 last year. As per the agreement reached between KMC and government, these house surgeons have been offering services at Wenlock hospital, Lady Goschen and other designated primary health centres in Dakshina Kannada district.
