Guna: Contract health workers, who have been staging an indefinite strike demanding their regularisation were seen resorting to eating straw as a mark of protest against the government in Madhya Pradesh's Guna district. The health workers have been staging an indefinite strike at the gate of Shastri Park outside the district hospital from December 15 for demanding their regularisation.
On Tuesday, President of contractual health staff, Mukesh Maurya told ANI, "We ate straw as a mark of protest to highlight that our wages are very low salary which gets over within 15 days. It becomes very difficult to maintain the family. We started the protest from December 15 and will continue it till our demand of regularisation gets complete."
