Hathras Contractual ANM Staff Demand Equal Pay, Submit Memo To CMO

Contractual ANM employees in Hathras submitted a memorandum to the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) on Thursday, raising a set of demands linked to pay and service benefits.

The employees demanded that they should also be given salary and other facilities on the same lines as permanent employees. They said they have been serving in the health department for a long time, but continue to receive lower wages and limited facilities compared with permanent staff.

According to the employees, the core issue is equal pay for equal work. They said that when they are performing similar duties, they should be provided the same salary structure and related facilities as permanent employees.

The employees also said that protests and sit-ins are being held over the same demands in Lucknow as well as in all districts of the state. In Hathras too, contractual ANM employees gathered in large numbers in support of their demands.

They said many contractual ANM employees from Hathras are leaving for Lucknow to join the protest in support of their demands.

The employees made it clear that their sit-in and protest will continue until a positive decision is taken on their demands.
