A strike in Bathinda has forced the closure of 53 Aam Aadmi clinics, leaving many patients unable to receive medical treatment.
A labour strike in Bathinda has resulted in the shutdown of 53 Aam Aadmi clinics across the city. The stoppage, which began earlier this week, has halted routine outpatient services and emergency care at these facilities.
Patients who regularly depend on the clinics for affordable medical care are now scrambling for alternatives, with many reporting difficulty in finding nearby hospitals that can accommodate the sudden surge in demand. Local residents have voiced concerns over delayed treatments, especially for chronic conditions.
Representatives of the Aam Aadmi clinic network confirmed the closures and appealed to the striking parties to resolve the dispute promptly. Health officials have urged the public to remain calm and seek assistance from government hospitals while negotiations continue.
