Imphal, August 03 2020:
Aggrieved about the time scale promotion, the Assistant Professors, Senior Residents and Associate Professors (APSRA) Committee, JNIMS has decided to gherao the office (administrative block) of the Director from August 10.A press release issued by APSRA Committee, JNIMS said that an executive meeting of the committee was held yesterday and discussed about the 'time scale promotion for all'.
The executive meeting decided to launch protest demonstrations from August 10 .
The matter of time scale promotion was approved by the State Cabinet on January 24 this year and the matter was forwarded to the JNIMS Director on March 12.However, the JNIMS Director had held DPC three times amidst the COVID-19 pandemic by totally overlooking the demand and wish of the APSRA Committee, it said.
As such, the committee has been compelled to stage protest demonstrations against the Director, it continued.
While totally ignoring all the risks being faced by doctors in discharging their duties in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Director has been acting in a very discriminatory and sectarian manner, the APSRA Committee alleged.
