They expect incentive and hotel accommodation
Continuous work without adequate break unlike given in the first wave of COVID in 2020 has created a sense of desperation among doctors.
“Besides treating patients continuously by putting our lives at risk, we are forced to face the angry public who shout at us for lack of adequate doses of vaccines,” a senior medical officer of a Government Hospital said.
The State government could have recognised their services with an incentive for fight against the COVID at least during the peak period. “An incentive for a couple of months will keep the fighting spirit of the medical officers and paramedical staff high to continuously work in the COVID wards,” he added.

AAA Tamil Nadu Government Employees’ Association has taken strong exception to the officials of Labour Department here transferring a woman employee who has gone on maternity leave in violation of a Government Order pertaining to maternity leave.
The association president, S. Tamil Selvi, led a protest here on Friday flaying the attitude of officials of Labour Department for putting the woman employee on maternity leave to untold mental agony.
The steno-typist, A. Premavathi, working in the office of Assistant Commissioner of Labour in Virudhunagar had gone on maternity leave in February. “Within a few days, the woman was transferred and another employee from Chennai posted here. Consequently, her maternity leave salary for the month of March was denied,” said C.E. Kannan of the association.

Besides giving pension to retired anganwadi workers and helpers, family pension should also be given in the event of their death. Gratuity of ₹10 lakh should be given to anganwadi workers, while this amount should be fixed as ₹.5 lakh for assistants. When the protestors, led by Gnanammal, district secretary of Anganwadi Workers, Helpers Welfare Association, were marching towards the Collectorate, they were stopped at MGR Statue near the District Science Centre and directed to a ground near the Collectorate.
