Imphal, December 12 2015 :
A group of nurses who are working as contract staff in RIMS shut the casualty ward of the hospital this afternoon.
Around 20 nurses shut the casualty ward at 2 pm demanding service regula- rization thereby disrupting the normal functions of the hospital.
One of the agitating nurses told media persons that a DPC was held in 2011 for their service regularization.
But RIMS authority issued a notification in 2013 for recruit- ment of 116 fresh nurses.
Even as RIMS authority was conducting a written test for 116 staff nurses today, a group of nurses who have been working as contract staff raised an uproar apart from shutting the casualty ward.

Altogether 22 nurses are working as contract staff in RIMS.
After they filed a complaint, the High Court of Manipur issued an interim order asking RIMS authority to grant certain 'advantages' to the contract nurses.
The contract nurses are not given casual leave and they were given maternity leave only after sustained struggle, she said.
On the other hand, one senior official of RIMS said that all the 22 contract nurses were asked to appear the written test held today.
Regularization of a contract staff should be done in line with certain rules.
This does not mean the contract nurses should be marginalized.
They were given the opportunity to appear the written test and they may be selected based on their performance.
There are service rules and contract staff cannot be upgraded to regular employees just because they wish it.
All the 22 contract nurses were appointed to serve in RIMS until regular staff nurses are appointed, added the senior official.
