New Delhi: All India Institute of Medical Sciences Nurses Union has called off their strike following a meeting with AIIMS administration on Tuesday night.
According to reports, the strike was called off after they held a meeting with the hospital administration this evening.
AIIMS Director, Dr Randeep Guleria had earlier called the nurses union for a meeting after the Delhi High Court restrained them from continuing their indefinite strike.
The ministry also said non-compliance of the "code of conduct", laid down as per a Delhi High Court judgment, whereby no employee or staff or faculty member will cease work for any reason, will be treated as an offence under the Disaster Management Act.
About 5,000 nurses began their strike on Monday afternoon.
Their demands include the correction of an anomaly in the fixation of the initial payment based on the Sixth Central Pay Commission, addressing various matters such as removal of gender-based reservation in the recruiting process of nursing officers, the abolishment of contractual appointments, enhancement of hospital accommodation and cadre restructuring.
To contain further participation in the nurses' strike, the AIIMS administration on Monday had directed its faculty members and staff not to cease work, shout slogans, hold demonstrations or meetings within the campus or around 500 meters of the radius of the institute's boundary.
