Shivamogga: The contract staff working at McGann Hospital under Shivamogga Institute of Medical Sciences (SIMS) staged a sit-in protest here on Wednesday over various demands which include their regularisation.
Over 540 staff members including nurses, attenders, sweepers and other employees staged protest demanding regular pay and permanent appointment from the government.
Shobha, cleaning staff at the SIMS, told ANI: "The authorities have been giving us false promises for a long time. They have never fulfilled their words. BJP MP BY Raghavendra promised us that he will resolve the issue in 15 days. However, we want Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to intervene."
