108 Ambulance Staff Protest for Rights in Punjab
Ambulance workers in Punjab are upset because they feel they are not being treated fairly.
They work long hours without extra pay and want the government to give them better salaries and insurance.
They protested to ask for these changes.
The government promised to talk about their demands, but the workers say nothing has been done yet.
They want the government to make sure they are treated fairly and have the same benefits as workers in other states.
108 ambulance employees protested in Mohali against the Punjab government for better working conditions and rights.
They demanded salary increases, better working hours, insurance, and direct payment from the government treasury.
The employees are currently working 12-hour shifts without overtime pay, violating Punjab Labour Department rules.
Two demands were accepted during a meeting with PHSC officials: timely payment of salaries and provision of insurance cover.
The union warned of intensified agitation if their demands are not addressed promptly, potentially disrupting ambulance services.
