The Odisha Medical Service Association (OMSA) has warned of a stir from February 1 to protest against the state government’s alleged “ dilly-dallying” approach in implementing a promotion scheme for doctors.

States like Bihar have implemented the scheme after the Centre introduced it in 2006, Dr Rout said.
