Assam Nurses’ body launches indefinite strike from today

The All Assam Nurses' Association (AANA) has staged an indefinite strike from today (November 26).

Reportedly, AANA has demanded to amend the anomalies of the salary structure published in the ROP of the 7th pay commission, revive the designation of the staff nurse, implementation of 'same post same salary' and publishing of service rule of the staff nurse.

The members of AANA have staged protest in the premises of Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Jorhat Medical College & Hospital (JMCH).

The nurses have been urging the State government to resolve the anomalies related to grade pay, abolition of the designation of the staff nurses including the service rules. Despite their extended pleas, the nurses have been getting negligence from the Government.

It may be mentioned that AANA had staged several strikes in support of their demands. But, permanent solution did not come; therefore they have started the indefinite strike in protest against the alleged betrayal made to the staff nurses by the State government.
