Imphal, April 06 2015 :
Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS) is likely to encounter a disturbing situation in case the Cabinet decision to adopt daily wage earners of JNIMS as contract employees is not translated into action at the earliest.
With the primary objective of obtaining recognition from the Medical Council of India (MCI), JNIMS engaged 455 daily wage earners as record clerks, staff nurses, laboratory technicians, LDCs, sweepers, peons, chowkidars, ward attendants, computer operators and cooks.
These daily wage earners were engaged in JNIMS between 2007 and 2014 and they formed a common body christened All Non-Regular Employees' Association, JNIMS.
The association's general secretary Kh Jayenta said that they would launch all sorts of agitation from April 13 if all the daily wage earners are not adopted as contract staff before the deadline (April 13) .

A Cabinet meeting held on May 12 last year decided to adopt all the daily wage earners as contract staff.
In line with the Cabinet decision, Secretariat (Health Department) sent a letter numbered 12/9/2013M(JNIMS)(Pt) to the JNIMS authority on August 27, 2014 .
But the JNIMS authority submitted a fabricated report to the Government and is still sleeping over the Health Department's letter, Jayenta said.
Meanwhile, JNIMS authority, acting on an order issued by the Principal Secretary (Health), initiated a new process of outsourcing all the daily wage earners to an outside agency.
This has only multiplied the grievances of daily wage earners.
JNIMS authority should initiate due process in accordance with the Cabinet decision of May 12 and the subsequent letter sent by the Secretariat (Health Department) by April 12 and ensure that all the daily wage earners are adopted as contract staff.
A memorandum would be submitted to the Chief Minister soon and all sorts of agitation would be launched from April 13 if the demand of the daily wage earners is not fulfilled by April 12, Jayenta added.
