NHM Employees Strike Continues in Punjab
NHM employees in Punjab are on strike because they haven't received their November salaries yet.
The government released their October salaries on December 1, but the employees are still protesting.
They want their salaries to be paid on time and also want better pay and job security.
They say that in Haryana, NHM employees get better salaries, and they want the same in Punjab.
The employees also met with the mission director to give their demands.
The strike will continue until they get a written promise that their salaries will be paid on time.
NHM employees in Punjab are on a pen-down strike since December 1 over delayed November salaries.
The Punjab government released the October salaries on December 1, but the strike continues.
Employees demand timely payment of salaries, job regularization, and better pay scales.
