AGARTALA, Aug 25 (TIWN): Nursing under-training, passed out students placed deputation to the Chief Minister demanding recruitment of nursing students in state.

On Friday morning nursing students gathered at CM's residence after they failed to meet the Health Minister on Thursday.

Recently Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar said in a nursing college programme that there are highest demand of workers in nursing sector across the globe. Due to the crisis even nurses are bought by foreign countries from Indian markets. Manik Sarkar also mentioned that students are rushing for nursing courses just for job-guarantee factors.

But on Thursday as well as on Friday the scenarios at Agartala was just opposite of the claims of Tripura Chief Minister. A number of nursing students on Thursday to meet the Health Minister Badal Choudhury went to his residence, waited for hours but they were returned empty handed as Minister couldn't seen. Official source said that Minister is not at Agartala and left for some works. The angry nursing passed out students reached CPI-M party office at Melarmath in demand of answer to job-policy of the CPI-M that had led a huge chaos at Melarmath zone.

However, on Friday the students placed deputation to the Chief Minister in demand of staff nurse recruitment.
