Bihar ambulance staff union warns of agitation over delayed pay at first state conference
At the first state conference of the 102 ambulance employees' union in Bhabua, leaders warned of agitation over late salaries and harassment complaints.
The first state-level conference of the 102 ambulance employees' union was held in Bhabua, Bihar, with representatives from several districts attending, according to a Hindustan report.
Chief guest and MP Manoj Kumar heard the staff's problems, called their demands justified and said ambulance staff are the backbone of the health sector. He said he would raise their cause in the Lok Sabha and urged the state government to resolve the issues.
Employees said they are often harassed by the health department and the company that runs the ambulances, and that salaries do not arrive on time. They said delays sometimes grow so long that meeting household expenses becomes difficult.
Chandra Prakash Singh, state president of the Bihar State Medical Employees Union, warned that if the problems are not properly resolved, employees will plan an agitation.
Why it matters for ambulance owners and drivers
Pay delays are a recurring concern for contracted ambulance crews, and the union's warning suggests possible protests if talks do not progress.
