“Keeping in view the pandemic situation and problems of patients, we are not going for any agitation at present. The decision to revise cadre of KGMU (non-clinical) employees was made in January 2021 and medical education minister had issued instructions. But till now, nothing has been done hence we are forced to demonstrate in such a manner,” said Gangwar.

As per the plan, Gangwar will crawl from KGMU V-C’s office, reach the residence of medical education minister and then move towards the CM’s residence. He wrote a letter declaring the agitation to the principal secretary medical education on Monday.

“Despite instructions from medical education minister Suresh Khanna in January to complete restructuring of posts by April, to give KGMU employees pay at par with SGPGIMS staff, the process has not been completed,” said Rajan Yadav, general secretary, KGMU Employees’ Council.
