Gandhi Hospital Nurses’ intensify their Stir 

Hyderabad: Contract nurses at Gandhi Hospital have intensified their strike on fourth day by boycotting duties demanding regularisation of their jobs. They are upset by the police issuing notices to 90 of the agitating nurses.

The agitation began on Saturday in which 200 contract nurses took part. It may be recalled that last year too, contract nurses staged protest demanding regularisation of their jobs.

We want the government to pay heed to our just demands and regularise our jobs. The Government should pay us a monthly salary of Rs 28,900

"We have been working for 10 years and still our work experience not being taken into account. We are still labelled as contractors. We want the government to pay heed to our just demands and regularise our jobs. The Government should pay us a monthly salary of Rs 28,900," said Indira, a contract nurse.

Another nurse said that though there were several vacancies, the Government is not filling them.
