AIIMS Bhopal: '₹1.5 Lakh Le Liye Aur Ab Bol Rahe Kal Se Mat Aana...' Around 260 Outsourced Workers Fear Job Loss, Protest Outside Hospital | VIDEO

Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: Around 260 outsourced workers at AIIMS Bhopal are feared to lose their jobs after an outsourcing agency allegedly disclosed a list of affected employees on Wednesday night. The unfortunate news sparked protests outside the hospital, with housekeeping staff, sanitary attendants, and ward boys among those protesting.

According to the affected staff, the outsourcing agency released the list around 9 pm on Wednesday. Several workers subsequently assembled outside the hospital to voice their discontent over the decision. An Instagram post reports that 800 outsourced employees work in various departments at AIIMS Bhopal, while another 516 sanitary attendants have also raised job security concerns.

The implications of the order remain uncertain. The affected employees claim they are being removed from their positions without any alternative employment being offered. They gathered near the outpatient department (OPD) gate, seeking clarification from the hospital administration and the outsourcing agency. The workers allege that they were not given prior notice or consultation regarding the decision and demand clarity on their employment status and the factors considered in preparing the list.
