Former Health Minister and senior BRS MLA T Harish Rao on Tuesday demanded the State government to release pending salaries of sanitation, patient care and security staff working at various hospitals under Telangana Vaidya Vidhana Parishad (TVVP) in Telangana. He said the government failed to pay salaries to these staff for the past six months.
Responding to the ongoing protests by hospital staff, Harish Rao said the inhumane Congress government neglected the plight of health staff who are essential to hospital operations. He reminded that the government hospitals are already under-staffed, but overburdened with patients suffering from severe viral fevers.
