Jobless paramedics on hunger strike in Chitral

CHITRAL: Unemployed trained paramedics continue their token hunger strike since December 20 demanding recruitment in the health department. But no action has been taken so far, they complained. Member board of director Legal Awareness Program for Human Rights (LAPH) Niaz A. Niazi Advocate, president Paramedical Association Chitral Khurshid Ahmad, former President of District Bar Association Khurshid Hussain Advocate, journalist Maulana M. Afzal and a retired female staff of the health department also sat in the hunger strike camp on Tuesday to express sympathy with the protesters.
Talking to this scribe, they said the token hunger strike of these jobless trained paramedics was started on 20th December but they have not been adjusted in the health department. They demanded that the high ups of the health department should adjust them immediately.--GH Farooqui
