With no solution to its demand for service regularisation despite several rounds of meeting held at different levels, the aggrieved nurses have decided to go for a total cease work including ICU and emergency services from November 16.
It was informed that another meeting was called today at the Secretary attended by Principal Secretary to Chief Minister, Amardeep Singh Bhatia and KD Vizo, Secretary for Health and other departmental officials.
The meeting which lasted about two and half hours was inconclusive. Department Recruited Aggrieved Nurses (DRAN) 2021 members said they were pleaded to call off their protest and sit for the Nagaland Public Service Commission exam, which was outrightly rejected by the members.
While negotiating, a member of the DRAN claimed “they told us that if we sit for NPSC exam, 70-80% of the nurses will be accommodated while the remaining 20-30% will be made to sit for the next NPSC exam.”
He however, said that DRAN would never relent to their proposal adding “we want nothing more and nothing less than regularisation.” He also claimed that the government is now trying to twist the notifications which were issued earlier, and trying to negotiate with them. “They may try to twist the facts, but the fact is at our fingertips just as it is at their fingertips,” he maintained.
Meanwhile, DRAN has expressed its regret over the inconveniences to the public owing to their protest, and requested all to bear with them ‘till its legitimate right is fulfilled.’
