| NHMEA stages protest, demands regularization | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 25: NHM Employees Association today staged a protest in support of their demands at Exhibition Ground, Near Press Club, Jammu as employees are demanding to accept their demands which are justified as a reminder to State Government of the pending primary demand of Regularization and continuous neglect of Government towards genuine demands of NHM Employees.
NHM Employees have been agitating since many years for the rightful and genuine demand of regularization. In March 2017 there was a 15 days strike after which a committee of 4 officers was formed vide order no. 151-HME of 2017, dated: 15/03/2017 to look into the demands of NHM Employees which had to submit its report within 2 months. But instead of working towards resolution of demands the said Committee played a very negative role through dilly dallying tactics and did nothing for almost 9 months. On 20th December, 2017 again a state wise strike of NHM Employees began which continued till 22nd January 2018 and was suspended only after personal assurance and acceptance of all demands of NHM Employees by then Health Minister Bali Bhagat along with then Principal Secretary Health & Medical Education, Dr. Pawan Kotwal in meeting with the representatives of All JK NHM Employees Association at Civil Secretariat, Jammu. The same assurance was given by then Health Minister on the floor of State Legislative Assembly and conveyed via electronic and print media as well.
To support the one day mega nationwide protest call of National Health Mission Employees, the NHM Employees of Doda District under the banner of All J&K NHM Employees Association District Unit Doda on Thursday observed complete pen down strike across District.
Speaking on the occasion, District President NHM Union Doda Faizan A Tramboo said that the aim of holding one day strike is to support the call given by All India NHM Karamchari Sang besides to inform the Governor about the genuine grievances of NHM Employees which has not been conceded so far forcing us to go for protests and strikes. The main demands which were highlighted during the strike include immediate formulation of regularization policy, implementation of equal pay for equal work and implementation of 7th pay commission benefit to NHM Employees on the analogy of SSA Teachers.
Tramboo informed that we are around 12000 employees working under NHM in J&K and most of our employees have already crossed the age of upper limit, adding that NHM Employees should be brought on permanent roll and those who have completed five years tenure should be given salary at par with permanent employees, as the NHM Employees are doing the similar work as done by the others but we are still facing discrimination. |
