Health services disrupted in Assam for second day, NHM workers join statewide strike
Digital Desk: Health centers across Assam are facing a second day of disruptions as all workers of the National Health Mission (NHM) join a statewide strike.
The strike, which began on March 4, will continue until March 6, affecting healthcare services across the state.
The NHM workers are protesting to demand the regularization of jobs, payment of salaries as per the 7th Pay Commission, and better working conditions.
They are also seeking job security and regularization of their employment.
The strike has been reported in various hospitals across the state, with all Assam health workers' welfare organizations threatening to escalate the democratic movement against state-run circulars if the strike is stopped soon.
The situation remains tense, with health services likely to be disrupted until the strike is called off.
