AGARTALA, Oct 15 (TIWN): NHM employees in Tripura are sharing a lions parts of state's Health Service since 10 years, but fully deprived of regular wages, full wages, regularization and any extra facility. The NHM workers, who were appointed since 2005 were used in various Depts under the Health Mission, but even after multiple protests, Tripura Govt has not regularized them. Asking state's Health Minister Badal Chowdhury about their regularization, apart from false hopes and central-deprivation's allegation nothing could be heard, but this is the same Govt who violating MHRD's guidelines & Supreme Court's order created 12000 posts just to save illegally recruited 10323 teachers of the state.

Tripura NRHM Employees Welfare Association 's President Association President Abinash Tripura said, "Since 2005 the NHM Mission had started in Tripura. In 2007 the NRHM workers had been recruited under (State Health Welfare Society) but we were working for NHM and in 2012 NRHM was modified into NHM and since 2007 many employees were recruited in various depts under Tripura Health Service, but the recruitments were under 11 months' contract. After 11 months the workers are  recontinued by state govt every year ".

However, it has been long 10 years that the NHM employees are working for the Health Dept but till day Regularization is a dream only. Moreover, the employees are notv even getting their wages regularly, which has fueled mass anger among the employees.

As the NHM employees are the target of salary deviation, the Employees have raised Question, "Don't we have right to live in comfort ? There are 2300 employees working for NHM and if our demands are not fulfilled we will go in massive protests in coming days".

At the end of November the NHM employees will go in massive protests, a source said.
