Around two hundred doctors and hospital staff of Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College Hospital on Wednesday protested over their dues.

They blocked the office of hospital Director Prof Md Morshed in the morning and protested outside of the director’s room.

Later, some of the protesters entered the director’s room and asked him when they were going to get their dues.

However, they did not get any assurance from the director in this regard.

One of the senior staff nurses claimed that they are not getting paid for five months straight.

Director Prof Md Morshed said he did not want to make any comment on this issue.

Another staff of the hospital said the director told him there is no fund to pay them.

Ramna police station Officer in-Charge (OC) Md Monirul Islam said the hospital staff demonstrated for half an hour.

During the demonstration, hospital services were stopped as nurses joined the protest as well, he added.

The hospital staff resumed their work when they were told that their one month’s salary would be given on Sunday, the OC said.
