Karachi: The Sindh government has failed to fulfill its promise made recently with the protesting nurses in Karachi.
Last week, Provincial Health Minister Dr Saghir Ahmed had assured the nurses, who were demanding increments, promotions and devolution of powers that their demands would be met and a notification in this connection would be issued by March 31. However, the assurance has not been fulfilled despite the passage of the March 31 deadline.
The paramedical staff at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center (JPMC) and National Institute of Child Health (NICH) has strongly criticised the provincial government for not fulfilling its promise.
Nurses complained that instead of meeting their demands they were being threatened of severe consequences.
A female nurse told The News Tribe correspondent in Karachi on condition of anonymity that the provincial health minister while giving assurance of meeting their demands also hurled threats of transferring female paramedics to interior of Sindh besides ill-treatment.
