Contract Health Employees Continue Strike in Andhra Pradesh Over Regularisation Demands
Contract health employees in Andhra Pradesh's Medical and Health Department have continued an indefinite strike into its third day, demanding regularisation, salary payments, and support for families of deceased workers. The Andhra Pradesh Medical and Health Contract Employees Joint Action Committee (JAC) leads the protest, with backing from political figures like MLC Kumbha Ravibabu and trade unions including the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU). The CITU has urged the government to withdraw showcause notices and address grievances, warning of broader strike action if demands remain unmet.
