Damodar Rajanarsimha gives the green signal for cadre change and enhancement of salaries
Hyderabad: After the special initiative of Health Minister C Damodar Rajanarsimha to give the green signal for cadre change and enhancement of salaries, the Arogya Mitras have called off their strike on Friday.
The Health Minister had a long discussion with the CEO of Aarogyasri Trust and the leaders of the State Committee of Aarogyasri Trust on the issues of the Arogya Mitras working in Rajiv Aarogyasri Health Care Trust for the last two days (since September 18) at his residence in Ministers Quarters. The main demand of Arogya Mitra which has been pending for the last 10 years was cadre change and salary hike.

The Minister issued instructions to the CEO of the Trust to pay wages under OD during the strike period.

They officially released a letter on behalf of their union on the termination of the strike.
Rajanarsimha directed the Arogya Mitras to work tirelessly to strengthen the health services provided by the Rajiv Aarogyasri Health Care Trust.
