CGHS employees threaten indefinite strike from March 11

New Delhi, Mar 8 (UNI) About 7,000 CGHS employees across the country today threatened to go on an indefinite strike from March 11 against privatisation.

The employees, under the banner of the All India CGHS employees Association, are demanding that the Union Health and Family Welfare Ministry cancels the contract of BVG India Limited employees who have replaced Group D staff.
