Eighty-nine doctors of the Yavatmal Zilla Parishad on Monday tendered their resignations claiming ill-treatment at the hands of district collector MD Singh, a functionary of a medical officers' association said. The collector refuted the allegations and said some grievances may exist at the tehsil level and they would be sorted out.

Dr Sangharsh Rathod, secretary of the Yavatmal unit of Maharashtra State Gazetted Medical Officers Group A Organisation (MAGMO) told PTI that its delegation had gone to meet Singh to demand reservation of 50 beds in government medical colleges for doctors and kin who had tested positive for coronavirus.
