JAMMU: Medical (Mechanical ) Daily Wagers, Need Based and CP Workers Union, Jammu Province, held a protest in the premises of Government Medical College Hospital (GMCH), Jammu, seeking early release of their wages pending for about 30 months.
A large number of daily wagers (Mech) engaged at GMC, SMGS Hospital, CD Hospital and SSH Jammu assembled in the premises of GMCH and raised slogans against the State Government for not clearing their pending wages.
“Due to non-release of salaries we are facing financial crisis. Our children are facing suspension in schools for non-payment of their school fees and we do not have even bus fare to come to attend to our duties in the hospitals”, protesters said.
They further said that they approached with their problems to all including MoS Health, Principal, GMC Jammu, superintendents and administrators of concerned hospitals, and Chief Engineer, Mechanical, GMC and associated hospitals but they did not pay heed to them.
“Their negligent attitude has forced us to adopt the path of protest, which we did not want to resort”, he said and appealed the Government to pass orders for early release of their pending salaries so that they can take a sigh of relief.
