JAMMU, Sept 21: Jammu Kashmir Medical Employees Federation (JKMEF) has urged upon the Lieutenant Governor to disburse without any delay the incentives announced by him for health employees.
Addressing a press conference, Sushil Sudan, JKMEF president, said that while recognizing the service of doctors and paramedical staff during COVID-19, Government had sanctioned Rs 10000 for doctors, Rs 7000 for paramedics and Rs 5000 for other staff as incentives vide Government Order Number 360 JK (HME) of 2021 dated 04-05-21, to encourage and boost the morale of health employees.
He regretted that even after lapse of 4 months not even a single penny has been disbursed to the doctors and paramedical staff.
