YAVATMAL: Dean of Vasantrao Naik Government Medical College Dr Milind Kamble arbitrarily sacked 160 contract workers who were recruited for Covid-related work.
The terminated workers were given jobs like cleaning toilets, wards and moving dead bodies of Covid patients during the lockdown period. The workers alleged that they have not been paid their salaries since the last two months and hence, their Diwali was dark.
The aggrieved workers even approached the dean to request him to cancel his decision, which they termed as illegal, but he did not relent.

Finally, the helpless workers approached the district unit of MNS. After hearing their grievances, the party took out a protest march to the district collector’s office and submitted a memorandum of demands on Tuesday.
MNS unit chief Deva Shivaramwar requested the collector to reinstate the sacked workers as they are Covid-19 warriors who extended their services to the administration at the cost of risking their own lives. The collector assured the delegation that he would call for a detailed report from the dean and after verifying it, he would take the right decision.
Chairman of MNS’s student wing Anil Hamdapure said that if the demands of the workers are not met then an agitation would be launched against the GMC administration.
