The presidents of all the three organizations viz Rohit Seth (NHM), Nissar Ahmad Dar (JKSACS) and Dr SS Samyal (RNTCP) informed the media that Government of J&K is not paying any heed to their genuine demands and forcing them to take aggressive measures to project their demands, which will be not beneficial for anyone, especially the needy and poor patients.
Similarly, a protest was also organized at Press Enclave, Srinagar, by Joint Employees Coordination Committee of NHM, RNTCP, NACO and other schemes. They raised slogans against the Government for not paying heed to their genuine demand of regularization.
While speaking on the occasion, spokesperson of the JECC, Abdul Rauoof, said that they approached the State Government and all concerned agencies over last more than six years for framing a policy for their regularization but till date nothing has been done to concede their demand.
He said that the JECC has decided not to call off the strike till the Government come out with a roadmap/written proposal for regularization of the services of the employees of all the three schemes.
