| NHM employees stage massive protest, demand continuation of services | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 5: A large number of NHM employees today staged a strong protest near Tawi Bridge and made a vain attempt to disrupt the vehicular movement by blocking it. The protesters who have been demonstrating for the last couple of months were demanding regularization and continuation of their services.
The protesting employees were raising slogans in support of their demands. They also tried to block the Tawi Bridge from Dogra Chowk side; however, a strong posse of police foiled their bid to stage a sit-in there.
Protesting NHM employees made frenetic efforts to observe protest dharna but the police personnel prevented them from doing so. A minor scuffle took place between the protesters and the cops, who didn't even bother to push the protesting employees including females.
Later, few of the protesters were detained and taken in police buses to an unknown location.
The protestors said that they had put their lives at risk when COVID-19 hit the country. "We were deputed to several GMCs and district hospitals last year at the peak of the COVID-19 when no one wanted to leave their homes.
"We were promised that our services will be regularized if we serve during the COVID period but in the month of September, we were handed over termination letters. Later, LG Manoj Sinha personally visited us at the protest site and assured 3 months of extension in services and priority in recruitment of regular posts," he said.
A protester said that the government has cheated us. "We get no extension in services and priority in regular posts, all the assurances from the government were verbal and no written order was issued so far in this connection," he said.
The protesters said that they wanted all NHM employees to be adjusted and their services should be continued by the government. |
