JAMMU, Apr 22: Former Minister and president, DCC Kathua, Dr Manohar Lal Sharma today requested the Governor to revoke the termination orders of NHM employees on immediate basis.
“The termination of NHM employees by the Government who were striking since long for fulfillment of their demands is totally unjustified,” Dr Sharma said and requested the Government to revoke the termination orders of NHM employees immediately.
Dr Sharma said that instead of solving the issues of employees who are on a peaceful agitation for pressing their genuine demands, the Government behaved in “dictatorial” way by terminating the employees. He said in many parts of the State, health centers had been closed down due to non-availability of staff and healthcare has suffered a jolt due non-availability of NHM employees, who form the only healthcare staff pool in many areas.
The former Minister appealed Governor Satya Pal Malik to intervene in the matter and issue necessary directions to the concerned for fulfilling all genuine demands of NHM employees.
