Imphal, March 01 2025:
In connection with the overwhelming monetary demands along with personal threats made by various groups, nurses of Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) staged a sit-in protest in front of the Emergency Ward of the hospital on Saturday.
Speaking on the sidelines, RIMS Hospital Trauma Centre in-charge and senior nursing officer Dr Y Sundari said that the sudden rise of monetary demands is preventing the nursing officers from doing their duty.
In addition to the extortions, the nurses are being personally threatened via telephones, which has left the nurses and their families terrified.

She continued that majority of those in the nursing profession come to work after taking care of their family and dropping off their kids at school.
In addition, the manpower in RIMS has dropped with one nurse taking on the work of five people.
While new departments are opened, the nurses are overburdened with the shortage of manpower and dealing with the large number of patients on daily basis.
As such, the excessive demands are shifting their attention from taking care of the patients, she remarked, and urged all concerned to stop making such demands or threats to the nurses.
