Imphal, January 30 2021:
The contract COVID medical staff locked the office of Medical Director Dr K Rajo today demanding their two months outstanding salary.
Speaking to media persons, Sagolsem Roma, one of the contract staff said that they will complete four months on February 2 as a Covid care medical staff.
However they have received the salary for only two months.
She stated that the contract staff have been serving the people earnestly amid the difficult time of the pandemic however they have not been given the due credit they deserve.
The situation is now stable in the State but the salary for two months is still on hold.
Accordingly the contract staff came to meet the Medical Director to discuss the matter but he was not present in his office and therefore they locked the office.
She further appealed to the authorities concerned to release the due salary at the earliest and to extend the contract period of the Covid Care Centre staff in the interest of the public since the pandemic is not fully under control.
