Contract cleaning workers at Jawahar Lal Nehru Hospital in Ajmer have halted work indefinitely, demanding payment of salaries overdue for two months.
Ajmer's Jawahar Lal Nehru (JLN) Hospital saw its contract cleaning staff walk out on Thursday, launching an open‑ended strike to press for unpaid wages. The workers say they have not received their salaries for the past two months, prompting the collective work stoppage.
The strike, declared indefinite, aims to compel hospital authorities to clear the pending dues. Hospital management has been approached by the employees' representatives, though no resolution has been reported yet.
Hospital officials have indicated that essential services will continue, but the suspension of cleaning staff may affect sanitation standards within the facility. The situation remains under close watch as the staff await payment.
The protest underscores growing concerns over contractual labor and timely remuneration in public health institutions across the region.
