Strike by GIMS Outsourced Staff Continues Amid Service Disruptions and FIR Filing

The hospital administration states that services, including emergency care and diagnostics, continue smoothly despite the strike. However, police registered an FIR following unrest during protests, citing alleged violence, obstruction of medical services, and property damage. Efforts to relocate protesters to maintain hospital operations reportedly led to confrontations involving some employees and outsiders.
