Pune: Nurses in government hospitals across the state have decided to go on an indefinite strike as the state government has refused to concede their demands to fill up vacant posts and increase the number of nursing staff in hospitals, said Anuradha Athavale, president of the Maharashtra Government Nurses' Federation on February 12 Wednesday.
"We have tried to voice our concerns to the government repeatedly, but our plea has fallen on deaf ears. We told the government to fulfil our demands and not force us to go on a strike as we deliver emergency service. Since we have not heard from them, we will now go on an indefinite strike starting from February 24,"Athavale said while addressing a news conference in the city. |
