INHUMAN ORDER BY HEALTH DEPT.DELHI GOVERNMENT TERMINATING PARAMEDICAL TECHNICAL STAFF

Bureau,Odishabarta

Inhuman order by Health and Family Welfare Department of Delhi Government terminating paramedical technical staff on 31.12.2020 should be withdrawn

DELHI,06/09/20:Contractual paramedical-technical staff in hospitals of Delhi Government by order dated 03.09.2020 of Department of Health and Family Welfare GNCTD has been given final extension to serve till 31.12.2020 after which only those recruited through proper channel after clearing test etc will replace them. Only relaxation to existing staff to appear for such tests is five-year extension in upper age-limit.

But there are staff-members who are serving even since the year 2006 onwards, and cannot avail age-relaxation of just five years to appear in tests for proper recruitment. They will not get even private jobs at this age also because of lost job-opportunities in on-going corona-crisis. They will be on roads with amounts also needed for education and marriages (in time to come) of their grown-up children. Many of them will not be able to pay balance EMIs of home-loan taken by them. It is clear-cut violation of normal human rights of affected contractual staff.

Delhi Government should absorb all contractual paramedical technical staff not eligible to appear in tests for recruitment (even after age-relaxation) as permanent employees, or else at least allow all contractual paramedical technical staff for tests for recruitment without requirement of any age-limit. Otherwise also contractual paramedical technical staff serving for long will be much more experienced and lower paid in comparison to new-to-be recruited permanent staff.
