Contract cleaners at Ajmer's Jawaharlal Nehru Hospital have begun an indefinite strike on Thursday after failing to receive wages for the past two months.
Contract cleaning staff at Ajmer's Jawaharlal Nehru (JLN) Hospital walked out on Thursday, demanding payment for wages that have been withheld for two months. The workers, employed on a contractual basis, have called for an indefinite strike until their dues are cleared.
The strike has disrupted routine cleaning and sanitation activities within the hospital premises, raising concerns about hygiene standards and patient safety. Hospital management has reportedly reached out to the municipal authorities to mediate the dispute.
So far, no official statement has been released by the hospital administration regarding the duration of the strike or the exact amount owed to the workers. The local government has urged both parties to settle the matter swiftly to avoid further disruption of healthcare services.
The incident highlights ongoing challenges faced by contract workers in the public health sector, where delayed payments can lead to labor unrest and impact service delivery.
