Maharashtra Nurses Strike Continues: Talks and Potential Resolution
Nurses in Maharashtra are on strike, meaning they're not working to get the government to agree to some of their demands.
The strike is about issues like how nurses are hired (some are hired temporarily, which the nurses don't like), how much they get paid, and other benefits.
The government is talking with the nurses to try to end the strike, and hopefully reach an agreement.
The government is trying to make sure hospitals can still take care of patients, so they are getting help from nursing students and other hospitals.
The nurses want a written promise that the government will meet their demands.
Maharashtra nurses' strike enters sixth day.
Government is hopeful for a resolution.
Nurses demand written assurances on contractual recruitment, wages, and allowances.
Over 25,000 nurses are on strike across government hospitals.
Sassoon Hospital is making arrangements with other hospitals for nursing staff.
