Although they have informed the higher authorities about their problems many a time, it is yet to yield any positive results. So, in protest, all nursing staffs would don black badges from Sunday till January 1.
Besides, they would hold a demonstration before all medical college hospitals from January 2 to 4 without hampering services to the patients, said the Odisha Nursing Employees’ Association on Saturday.
In a Press meet here, association secretary Pravati Mohanty said the Government is turning a blind eye to their problems. Agitation would be held demanding revision of their salary, providing of 10 years MCP and regularising the jobs of the nurses who are clearing the OPSC examinations.
