Priyanka Gandhi Urges UP Government to Listen To The Problems Of Banda’s Medical Staff, Ensure Justice

Mumbai: Congress leader and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday requested the Uttar Pradesh government not to cut the salaries of medical staff caring for patients during the dreaded coronavirus stage and provide them with personal protective equipment.

Vadra’s tweet contained a video of unidentified medical personnel from Banda district alleging that employees were not being given equipment and their salaries were being deducted by the hospital administration. Medical staff said they were dismissed from the hospital when they complained.

“At this moment it is very important to support our medical staff. They are life-givers and are in the field like warriors. A great injustice is being meted out to nurses and medical staff by cutting their salaries and not providing them with personal protection equipment. My appeal to the UP government is that this is not the time to do injustice to these warriors but to hear their woes,” Vadra’s tweet read.
