JAMMU, July 31: Unemployed dental surgeons continued their protest on 40th day today demanding creation of fresh posts of dental surgeons in Government Hospitals across J&K.
Scores of unemployed dental surgeons as usual assembled today at Amphalla Chowk and staged protest demonstration. The protesting youth said that they have been protesting for their rights for last about 40 days but no one from administration came to meet them and know their issues.
“Our employment woes have not been addressed since 2008 when Government last officially advertised posts for inducement of dental surgeons in Health Department. Since then thousands of dental surgeons are hopeless and jobless. The reason for this unemployment clearly follows a mismatch between supply and demand in health sector,” the protesting dental surgeons said.
The unemployed dental surgeons said that they gave representation to the authorities time to time but nothing has been done till date for their welfare. “Two years back with the help of Governor Satyapal Malik and his Advisor Vijay Kumar, we were finally able to put our demands rightly and officers were told to work on creating new posts for dental surgeons in the State but that file is gathering dust in Finance department for last three years,” they added.
“After the abrogation of Article 370 and 35 A, we are not in leadership but in dictatorship of Government. We are not getting permission of peaceful rally which is our right,” they said and appealed the LG Manoj Sinha to give them appointment so that they can apprise them of their woes.
