National Health Mission (NHM) employees today highlighted their demands.

Rohit Seth, provincial president of All JK NHM Employees Association and senior leader of State Government Employees' Joint Action Committee, Subash Verma, said that NHM staff is being ignored for many years by the Health Department and despite approaching to all the concerned higher officers time to time for the redressal of the genuine demands of the employees, the authority concerned has not responded. He said that their demands are that all the employees who have completed 5 years of service must be brought on permanent establishment and the rest of the staff be given equal salary at par with permanent employees in reference to the supreme court's verdict i.e. equal pay for equal work till their regularisation. He also said that the minimum 10% increment should be given to all the NHM staff yearly, transfer policy should be framed for them and the benefit of facilities like provident fund, maternity leave, baby care leave, medical leave, earned leave, medical Insurance, life insurance, etc. should also be given to them.
