He also reiterated that the association had submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister, Health and Family Welfare Minister and other concerned authority on July 28 last pressing the demand.
As there was no response from the Government, a reminder was sent on August 22.Despite repeated pleas, the Government has not given any positive response till date prompting the association to stage the sit-in-protest, he said .
Announcing that sit-in-protest would be staged in nine districts to press the demand, he warned of launching cease work strike if the Government fails to meet the demand even after staging the mass protest .
Placards reading “We are qualified enough to be regularised”, “Why other Departments but not NHM?”, “We deserve to be regularised”, “We demand a dedicated Mission Director from IAS cadre” etc were displayed at the protest site.
