NHM Employees in Jammu & Kashmir Extend Strike Over Unmet Demands

Jammu and Kashmir’s National Health Mission (NHM) staff have continued their industrial action, demanding the resolution of issues that have been pending for an extended period. The employees assert that their grievances, which have remained unaddressed, compel them to maintain the strike despite the potential impact on health services. Union representatives have reiterated that the demands pertain to working conditions and administrative matters that have been raised repeatedly.

The ongoing protest underscores growing discontent among health sector workers in the region, as they seek timely attention from the administration. Officials have acknowledged the strike but have not disclosed a timeline for negotiations or a settlement of the demands. The continuation of the strike raises concerns about the availability of routine medical care for the public.

Stakeholders, including local health authorities and community leaders, are monitoring the situation closely, urging both sides to engage in dialogue to prevent further disruption of health services. The strike remains in effect as employees await concrete action on their long‑pending demands.
