Jaipur: Officials of EMRI-GHS, the private firm which operates 108 and 104 ambulance services under a government contract, on Tuesday held a meeting for the first time with its ambulance employees who have been on strike for more than 15 days now.
The employees at the meeting demanded that the firm withdraw all FIRs filed against them and reinstate all the 637 staff terminated from service during the agitation, or else they would not call off their strike.
One FIR against the employees was lodged by EMRI-GHS at Jaipur’s Malviya Nagar police station and another at SMS Hospital police station. Several other such FIRs were filed in different districts against the agitating ambulance staff by the company.
An official of the company said at the meeting that the FIRs were filed because the striking staff had disrupted essential ambulance services. The official advised the employees to not engage in any such anti-social and anti-government activity, or else they would have to deal with police. The firm’s official said that newly deputed staff was being constantly threatened and abused by the terminated staff. The official said that the sacked staff was not allowing access to the duty room and the ambulance to the new staff.
The meeting started in the afternoon and the discussion mainly revolved around the issue of termination of staff and FIRs lodged against them.
