On the fourth day of their fast-unto-death strike, two mobile health unit (MHU) contractual workers of the Health and Family Welfare Department have been admitted at the Capital Hospital.
One Upendra Nayak and Prasanna Kumar Mishra have been shifted to the hospital here as their condition deteriorated on Sunday.
The agitating employees under the banner of Odisha Swasthya Group ‘D’ MHU Thika Sarkari Karmachari Sangha have been demanding immediate disbursement of salary of 17 months pending with the Government and regularisation of jobs.
Sangha president Debaraj Sahoo maintained that they would resort to self immolation in front of Naveen Niwas, the residence of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik if Health Minister and Secretary fail to sort out their issue in three days.
