Demanding salary, Subharti Medical College staff boycott work

Friday, 14 December 2018 | PNS | Dehradun

Demanding clearance of their pending salaries, the staff members of Subharti Medical College boycotted work and held a protest meeting against the State Government on Thursday. Notably,  on the order of the Supreme Court ( SC), the medical college had been taken over by the state medical education department on December 7.

The agitating employees are also demanding that the college should be returned to the Subharti management. The college which also includes nursing and pharmacy college has over 650 staffers. The employees claimed that they were far worse off now after the take-over.  “We used to receive salary before 10th of every month. But we are yet to receive salary this month. We are in deep crisis due to the non-clearance of salary,” said an agitated employee.  Another of them said that, given their financial distress, they are unable to pay their children’s school fees.

Interestingly, while the staffers were yelling anti- government slogans they raised their voice in favour of management of Subharati and wanted the college be returned to the old management.

Commenting on the matter, the director medical education Dr Ashutosh Sayana said that the college had been taken over on the SC order. He assured that salary of every employee of the college would be paid soon. “We are taking all steps to ensure that the salary of the staffers is paid at the earliest,” he assured.
