DDVCCA appeals to dispense equality, transparency and fair employment opportunities
Dimapur, June 16 (MExN): The Dimapur District Village Council Chairman's Association (DDVCCA) today expressed anguished at the decision taken by the cabinet “which has crippled the medical department with cessation of work by doctors, nurses and technicians under NHM.”
The Association said that at such a severe pandemic period like this, the state government should have undertaken all accounts into consideration to avoid such a situation to occur.
Expressing its displeasure in a press note, DDVCCA Media Cell alleged that “the government blatantly and intentionally violated the appointment rules and regulations” and “it is very silly of a government to use the term, "one time relaxation" and ask not to be a “precedent.”
It said that the government instead of lightening its burden with more medical professionals has increased the shortage due to its ill intention of discrimination.
DDVCCA also questioned whether the serving doctors, nurses and technicians under NHM less qualified than the others that they don’t deserve regularization and equal pay?
It also asked “if NHM is a mission funded by the centre the employees under this mission deserve discrimination from the state government?” and added that every qualified person deserves his/her share of employment facility of the state irrespective of caste, creed or status.
“It is very unfortunate that our own sons and daughters have to undergo step motherly treatment. It is learnt that there are employees who have rendered more than 10 years of service and to be suddenly left behind and regularizing a fresh employee is nothing short of nepotism, favoritism and blatant discrimination,” the Association stated.
While stating that “the medical department is one important department that should not play foul, as it deals with life and death,” it asserted that “at such a pandemic the employees are the forefront fighters that deserve the highest respect and treatment which sadly has turned sour.”
Therefore, the DDVCCA appeals to the government to dispense equality, transparency and fair employment opportunities and “to refrain from misusing power and authority whereby public are made to ultimately suffer which will in the long run be dear and costly.”
“The health, safety and treatment of patients and public should be in no way hampered due to this imbroglio and we look forward that this impasse is settled at the earliest,” it added.
