Medical Employees Federation, holds protest demonstration in support of demands 5/12/2022 10:49:45 PM Early Times Report JAMMU, May 12: Jammu & Kashmir Medical Employees Federation, Jammu held a strong protest demonstration at Director Health Services Jammu under the chairmanship of Sushil Sudan, UT president JKMEF, Jammu. A large number of health employees of all districts and blocks of Jammu division held massive protest demonstration. They shouted slogans in support of their demands. They alleged that the administrative department of health & family welfare has failed to frame rules of promotions and conduct a departmental promotion committee (promotions) of all categories in the health department, which has been pending for the last four years. The protesters said that several higher grade posts have been lying vacant in the department for many years including government hospital Gandhi Nagar Jammu and government hospital Sarwal. So many health employees have retired without getting their promotion benefits and patients also suffered due to shortage of staff in health institutions. The protesters also alleged that the administration failed to resolve the permanent salary issue of female multipurpose workers and other staff getting salaries under Head -2211 family welfare. The salary of FMPH workers and other staff has been pending for the last five months and the employees and their families have been facing hardship and are on the verge of starvation, and many are not getting their treatment due to not being the released of their salary. The protesters urged the UT government should register left over government in service pharmacists under the new pharmacy Act 1948 section 32-C, which was implemented in UT after the abrogation of Article 370. They also demanded the restoration of the old pension scheme for all UT employees on the analogy of neighbouring states. The protesters gave 12 days ultimatum to the higher authorities of the health department and said if their demands are not met they will observe strike on May 24.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
