Demanding the regularisation of services, hundreds of non-clinical and Group D employees in the Health Department staged a demonstration at Freedom Park in the city on Monday. The protesters said that the health department had planned to recruit nearly 2,323 employees under ‘D’ group, instead of regularising the services of those serving on contract basis.
They also demanded a hike in pay, along with other facilities provident fund, weekly-offs and medical leave.
They also wanted their salary in a direct way and not through contractors.
