According to Dr Aditya Gupta RDA President, Hindu Rao hospital, the representatives of various MCD hospitals have been trying to secure an appointment with the NHRC officials, but haven't received any response till now. The next step would be to approach court again, process of which has already begun.
Dr Pankaj Solanki, President FORDA, "It is shameful that government which is supposed to be the ideal employer, is the biggest harasser of its employees. It is shocking the way we are hearing the response of the authorities as simply saying that they don't have any money to pay the salaries of employees. Why will anyone want to work with MCD in the future if the are going to continue with such exploitation?
