Srinagar, January 27:(KNS)  Apni Party State Secretary and District President Budgam Muntazir Mohi-ud-din along with District President Baramulla Shoaib Lone on Wednesday expressed their profound concern over the dismal condition of multipurpose health workers in the Kashmir division.

In a joint statement issued here, the two leaders strongly objected to the neglectful attitude of the government over the plights of MPHW in the valley.

“Often we hear that multi-purpose health workers have organized rallies and sit-ins but the administration has never lent a careful ear to their pleas. They have been hoodwinked since 1994 and no promotions have been done in a span of 26 years. That’s gross injustice to these workers,” they said.

Commenting over the situation of these workers the two leaders urged the current administration to end their sufferings at earliest.

“These workers have suffered much. The current administration should frame a comprehensive service rule policy for multipurpose health workers in Jammu and Kashmir in accordance with their genuine wishes and aspirations. They have been seeking implementation relevant rules for which the government should make necessary provisions as soon as possible’’ they demanded.

The two leaders also urged the Lt. Governor of Jammu and Kashmir to intervene into the matter so that relief is delivered to such hapless workers. “The MPHW are rendering the selfless services for the humanity in Jammu and Kashmir and the government must reciprocate with addressing their long pending and genuine demands,” they advocated.(KNS)
