Ludhiana, July 1
The management of the Dayanand
Medical College and Hospital at an emergency meeting here today
condemned the strike of the employees-union. The meeting was presided
over by Mr Brij Mohan Munjal, president, DMCH Society.
The management
discussed the situation arising out of the ongoing undeclared strike.
While criticising the disturbance created by the union, the management
of the DMCH expressed its deep concern over the welfare of patients
who were suffering due to the striking employees. The members appealed
to the employees to end their strike and join their duties to serve
the ailing humanity.
The management said that some of the employees
were on strike under the influence of certain union leaders despite
the fact that they were being paid much more than their counterparts
working in other institutes. The management said that it wanted to
sort out things in a peaceful manner. For this purpose it had already
conveyed a message to union that it should give its demands in writing
but nothing had been done so far. Meanwhile, a meeting of the DMCH
employees was called today by the Civil Surgeon, Dr J.S. Bhullar, on
behalf of the Deputy Commissioner to intervene in the matter. But the
union leaders did not turn up to attend the meeting. Dr Bhullar said,
"The employees refused to come."
