Health workers working under the National Health Mission ( NHM ) today held a protest march in support of their demands from the Civil Hospital to the Deputy Commissioner’s office. They raised slogans against the government and burnt its effigy.

Addressing workers district president Harpal Singh said, “The Punjab Government is not heeding to genuine demands of health workers in spite of the fact that they have been sitting on dharnas for a long time.”

“The state body of the union has decided to hold a massive demonstration in front of the Chief Minister’s residence at Kharar on November 30. A large number of workers from Fatehgarh Sahib will participate in the rally,” he added.
