Srinagar, Mar 14: National Health Mission employees in J&K are staring down financial ruin without salaries for three months, even as Ramadan fasting grips families and Eid-ul-Fitr shopping dreams fade—leaving healthcare heroes struggling to put food on the table.
The Joint Coordination Committee warns of a massive protest at Sher-e-Kashmir Park on March 16 if dues aren’t cleared, with leaders like Muneer Andrabi (Kashmir), Dr Vikas Sharma (Jammu), Altaf Bhat, and Abdul Rauoof pleading: “We’ve served selflessly, but can’t celebrate Eid broke—this is our right, not charity.”
Amid sacred nights and rising grocery bills, these frontline workers beg the government to act fast, letting families mark the holy festival with dignity instead of despair.
