By Samachar Vishesh News

Chandigarh 19^th Aug:- The Chandigarh NHM Employees Union (CNEU) today held a full fledged strike by stopping all the health services of health department, chandigarh. We informed the NHM department, UT & other higher officials of Chandigarh administration six weeks prior to the strike but department didn’t pay any heeds to our genuine demands Hence, we are ultimately compelled by the health department to go on strike.

According to the Mahavir Singh Rawat, Media Controller of the CNEU, that today all the NHM staff participated in this protest which includes Medical officer, lady Medical officers, Staff nurse’s, ANMs, LHVs Lab. Tech, Pharmacist’s, DEO, counsellors, helpers and other staff posted at GMSH 16, Civil hospital 22,45, Manimajra and other allied services. He shared further that this strike hampered the health facilities and few are totally locked without any staff. This is very shameful for health department that they are neither taking care of their Staff as well as patients. He added that if department won’t come up with any solution we will further extend this protest for next two days.

Amit Kumar, General Secretary, CNEU said that on Tuesday there is ante-natal check up done at dispensaries and on Wednesday vaccination of children takes place. Both the activities will be affected by the negligence of heath department. We have taken this extreme step after carrying out so many protests but all in vain, so we are sorry to take this step but its need of our livelihood. We will intensify the protest and continue it till the fulfillment of genuine demands and if requires we will lead our protest to jantar Mantar- Delhi.
