Imphal, October 21 2021:
Denouncing non-release of their salaries for the last four months despite repeated appeals to the authorities concerned, nurses working under Family Welfare Department launched protest by stopping Covid-19 vaccination and routine immunisation by shutting down the immunisation room on Thursday.
Speaking on the sidelines of the protest, one Nameirakpam Mina pointed out that the nurses have been doing not only routine immunisation but also Covid vaccination.
They had urged authorities concerned for releasing their four months' monthly salaries repeatedly, but the authorities concerned have ignored their demand and plight consequently compelling them to launch the protest as they have no other option.
Demanding to pay their pending monthly salary before Ningol Chakkouba, Mina cautioned of launching more intense form of protest if the authorities fail to honour their demand.
