They also said that the officials of the Labour Department , ESI and PF should check the violations being committed by the employers. The ESI dispensaries have no diagnostic lab test facilities across the state and patients have to suffer for common tests which causes in connivance to workers. They said that it was very shocking that two months have passed as ESIC has agreed in principal that they will bear all the expenses on account of all lab test provided state govt AMO (Administrative Medical Officer ESI) under labour department has to tie up with the already paneled hospitals /laboratories tied up with ESIC so it has been also demanded that ESI dispensary be allowed to get diagnostic lab test from ESI panel health care institutions.
