UNB, Dhaka :
Medical services at Sir Salimullah Medical College and Mitford Hospital were hampered for the third day on Wednesday as its 3rd and 4th class employees continued their one-hour work abstention to press home their three-point demand.
The demands include rehabilitation of employees who used to reside at the old building of the hospital before demolishing it and stopping transfer of the third and fourth class employees as punishment.
Hospital sources said the workers abstained from work from 11am-12 noon on the hospital premises. They also formed a human
chain to press for their demands. The workers were observing a one-hour work abstention from Monday. The sources said the government has taken a plan to construct a new building after demolishing the old one.
Renu Miah, convener of Housing Crisis Implementation Committee and a staff of the hospital, said they will withdraw their work abstention programme after getting assurance from the government about meeting their demands. Meanwhile, outdoor patients who came to the hospital to receive health service had to undergo sufferings following the strike.
