Ludhiana, December 2

Protesting employees working under the National Health Mission (NHM) will be returning appreciation certificates they received for working during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The protesting employees are demanding regularisation of their jobs and hike in salaries. They are sitting on strike at the Civil Surgeon’s office.

One of the employees said tomorrow they would be returning appreciation certificates to the Deputy Commissioner. “What is the need of these certificates when the government does not recognise our problems and continues to ignore our genuine demands,” he said.

He further added that they had never let the government down and worked hard during the pandemic. The government was showing indifferent attitude due to which they were forced to sit on strike, he said. The protesting employees said they would further intensify their struggle if the government did not accept their demands.
