Punjab Health Workers Resume Indefinite Strike Over Pending Government Demands
Contractual employees of Aam Aadmi Clinics and National Health Mission (NHM) in Punjab have resumed indefinite strikes over unmet demands including job security, increased incentives, medical leave, and regularisation under the Department of Health. Despite prior government assurances and scheduled talks, notifications formalising these demands remain pending, leading to service suspensions at multiple clinics. Union leaders warn the agitation will continue until formal orders are issued, with protests planned if demands are not addressed before upcoming deadlines.
