Gandhinagar, July 28 - The Gujarat government Tuesday threatened to sack all the striking doctors of state government hospitals if they carry on their agitation for an increase in their stipend and do not return to duty.

The Gujarat government has already sacked 95 resident doctors in government hospitals by Monday evening, who had refused to return to duty despite repeated warnings and a notice served to them.

'If other doctors continue to remain on strike Tuesday night, more terminations of their services would be ordered tonight (Tuesday),' a senior health department official said in a statement here.

The official said the state government would not consider the doctors' demand for a much higher stipend as their stipend had been already revised recently. The services of all doctors would now be terminated as notices had been served to them and the government would not continue to show leniency, he said.

A total of 1,200 doctors of various government hospitals in the state are on indefinite strike since Thursday to demand a higher stipend.
