Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak visited King George's Medical University on Thursday to take stock of the situation after many employees of the medical institution went on strike.
Brajesh Pathak, who also holds the Medical Health and Family Welfare department, called for an urgent end to the strike and warned them that if the strike did not end, then the ESMA (Essential Services Management Act) would be imposed on the striking employees. "No one has the right to play with the lives of patients. If there is any complaint, then meet directly. There will be no solution through the strike," Brajesh Pathak said. Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, who reached the Trauma Center of KGMU on Thursday, inquired about the well-being of the patients and held discussions with hospital management and contractual employees. Issuing a stern warning to the striking employees, the Deputy CM said, "Strike is unacceptable on the hospital premises. Patients are getting adequate treatment at KGMU. Health services have not been disrupted at all. If anyone disrupts health services, strict action will be taken against them." "Public health service is a very serious matter; service to patients is our top priority. If in the future there is any obstruction in the noble work of public health and there is a strike, then action will be taken against all the striking doctors and employees under the ESMA (Essential Services Management Act)," Pathak posted on X.
