With no salary for the past three months, doctors in the frontline fight against COVID-19 have been left in the lurch. Over 450 doctors across the country have also lost their lives while fighting the pandemic. Many had voluntarily offered their services. Fed up of the government apathy towards them, some have resigned. 

A senior physician from Thane, whose services were availed to supervise COVID Centres, had to resign on September 30 as she was not paid for the past three months.
