PUNE: In an attempt to put pressure on the state government to meet their long-standing demands, 92 lecturers from two government medical colleges at Nanded and Ambejogai have served a one-month notice to their deans, threatening to resign en masse if their posts were not regularised within the notice period.
While 42 ad hoc lecturers served notice at Nanded, 50 others followed suit at Ambejogai on Monday afternoon.

The Maharashtra state medical teachers' association had last week threatened to give one-month notice to the government and resign en masse if concrete measures were not initiated to meet their demands.
Association president N.N. Ramraje, who, along with other members, called on state medical education secretary Amitabh Chandra at Mumbai on Monday, told TOI that "the trend will soon spread to other government medical colleges."
Officials from the two medical colleges at Nanded and Ambejogai said the lecturers who served the notice, were serving on an ad hoc basis.
"One lecturer has served on the ad hoc basis for 13 years," said an official. Although the medical education
secretary has given an assurance that measures were being worked out in this regard, "the association has not received anything in writing so far," the official added.
We've waited all these years, but nothing happened. The situation of faculty members is still the same," said Arvind Dagate, spokesperson of the association.
Out of the sanctioned 2,259 posts of professors, associate professors and lecturers at the 14 government medical colleges in Maharashtra, 1.204 posts are filled on an ad hoc basis, while 545 are lying vacant.
The association last month submitted a fresh proposal to the government, suggesting that measures be initiated to regularise hundreds of faculty members who have been serving on ad hoc basis.
