BHUBANESWAR: The All Odisha Contractual Nurses Association (AOCNA) has continued their indefinite dharna in front of the State Assembly started from Tuesday demanding regularisation of services and hike in salary. The strike by contractual nurses entered the fifth day on Thursday while the services in Government hospitals across the State were affected and patients lay helpless.
Due to strike by near about 2,000
nurses working in the three medical college hospitals and other Government
hospitals, services in hospitals were badly affected. The hospital authorities
tried to somehow manage work engaging nursing students as an alternative.
On Wednesday, more than hundred contractual
nurses were arrested by the police when they attempted to gherao the residences
of the Health Minister and the Chief Minister here following the failure of the
discussion with Finance Minister Prafulla Ghadei.
