Bathinda, December 2
Members of the NHM Joint Front Punjab staged a protest on footpaths by holding black flags and raised slogans in favour of National Health Mission (NHM) employees here on Thursday.
Claiming that they had been rendering services for the past over 10 years on “meagre” salaries, NHM staff have been demanding that the state government must regularise their jobs. Union leaders said they wanted to bring to the notice of people that after performing their duties diligently during the Covid pandemic, the government had left them helpless to suffer on roads.
NHM Joint Front state convener Narendar Kumar said: “In today’s protest, we did not raise slogans against the state government. We spoke in favour of the NHM staff and their contribution during the pandemic. We stood on footpaths in the
city by holding black flags and raised slogans peacefully.” — TNS
