PATNA: Permanent nursing staff of the
Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (
IGIMS) on Thursday boycotted work for at least two hours and staged dharna near the office of the hospital’s director, Dr N R Biswas, protesting delay in payment of their salary for the month of August.
IGIMS medical superintendent Dr Manish Mandal said the nursing staff resumed work after getting an assurance from the director that their payment would be made by Friday.
“services were not affected at the hospital during the two-hour protest as doctors and contractual nursing staff took care of the patients,” Dr Mandal added.
