Contract workers at Chandigarh's Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGI) are threatening a 24-hour strike on December 30, continuing their protest since November 14. Their demands include payment of pending arrears, maternity leave, bonuses, and reinstatement of four security guards. While the PGI administration reportedly assured payment of arrears by January 31, 2026, other demands remain unaddressed, leading workers to continue their hunger strike.
