GUWAHATI: Nurses at the Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) and Jorhat Medical College and Hospital (JMCH) have gone on an indefinite strike from Monday.
The All Assam Nurses Association (AANA) has been demanding 'same post same salary' for a long time now.
The nurses have been asking the state government to resolve the anomalies related to grade pay structure published in the 7th Pay Commission report and service rules, restoration of the abolished designation of 'staff nurses' instead of 'nurse'.
