| LG Sinha reaches out to nursing staff, meets them personally; extends their contract for 3 months | | Says vacancies being identified; Covid warriors to be given weightage in recruitment | |  Early Times Report
Jammu/ Srinagar, Oct 3: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday met the protesting nursing staff whose contract had expired and extended their engagement for another three months. He met the health workers separately at Government Medical College, Jammu and Raj Bhawan, Srinagar.
The Lt Governor assured the health workers engaged on contract that new positions of paramedical staff would be identified and advertised soon. “The Corona warriors will be given weightage in the recruitment process,” he said.
“We are indebted to health workers who have been on the forefront in the fight against Covid pandemic. They always go much beyond their call of duty to save precious human lives. I salute their courage and selfless service,” the Lt Governor added.
An observer while talking to Early Times said, “LG Sinha by meeting the protesting nursing staff has broken the shackles and has sent a clear message that the government respects their work and courage. By holding a direct interaction with the nursing staff members, who were engaged on contractual basis during the COVID-19 crisis, he has acted swiftly and led from the front.”
The observer said, “The Lieutenant Governor should hold direct interactions with the people so that he gets the correct feedback and not the distorted one provided to him by a few officials. Erecting hoardings and releasing advertisements are not enough, much more needs to be done to address the issues of people.” The Lt Governor during the meeting at Raj Bhawan, Srinagar, told the senior officials that vacant nursing staff positions in the UT should be identified as soon as possible and recruitment process should be initiated to benefit the health workers. “Our health workers worked tirelessly and they deserve high praise,” the Lt Governor said.
The nursing staff at Jammu expressed gratitude to the Lt Governor for visiting them and assuring the extension of their contract by three months. Dr. Shashi Sudhan Sharma, Principal & Dean GMC Jammu besides Medical Superintendent GMC were present.
Pandurang K Pole, Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir; Dr. Mushtaq Ahmad Rather, Director Health Services Kashmir; Choudhary Mohammad Yasin, Mission Director NHM were present in the meeting at Srinagar. |
