Health Minister Assures NIMS Nurses on Demands

Hyderabad:The Nims Nurses Union on Wednesday held discussions with health minister Damodar Raja Narasimha, who assured that all genuine demands raised by the union had been agreed to in principle.

According to the union, the minister said some of the related files had already been forwarded to the concerned departments, while the remaining process would be completed and formal orders issued within the next two to three days. The assurances were given in the presence of the director of Nims and the medical superintendent.

Following the minister’s assurance, the nurses union decided to temporarily defer the intensified agitation programmes that were scheduled to begin on Wednesday. However, the union clarified that until written orders are issued, nursing staff will continue to report for duty while staging a silent and peaceful protest by wearing black badges.
