Protesting LRH employees resent show-cause notices

 PESHAWAR: The Health Employees Coordination Council (HECC), a joint platform of all the employees associations of the Lady Reading Hospital (LRH), has resented the show-cause notices issued to 130 members and resolved to resist such pressure tactics.

The HECC, which has teaching staff association, paramedical, nursing, all Pakistan clerks, IT, paramedics, class-IV and sanitation staff associations as members arranged an emergency meeting.

The meeting was attended by heads of various associations. They included Dr Musa Kaleem, Dr Alamgeer, Dr Amjad Ali Khan, Dr Hussain Ahmad Haroon, Dr Saeedur Rehamn, Dr Javed Nawab, Muhamamd Aslam Khan, Murad Khan, Adnan Azmat, Farukh Jaleel, Syed Roidar Shah, Sirajuddin Burki, Nabi Ameen, Muhammad Ali, Shahid Ghouri and others.

The participants said they were ready to offer any sacrifice for achieving the rights for the community. They said they would implement the strategy to resolve the problems they had been facing since long as the assurances given by the government from time to time were never honoured.

The representatives of the employees associations said they had extended all support to the LRH administration in the past to resolve the issues but nothing concrete was done by the latter.

They said instead the administration had transferred their colleagues for no reason which forced them into staging the protest.  The participants of the meeting said the show-case notices had exposed the intentions of the LRH administration which was playing a double game.
