NAN recalls that ARD-UCH embarked on the three-day warning strike on Monday over persistent electricity crisis and chronic water shortage at the College of Medicine axis of the hospital.
The association is demanding immediate restoration of electricity to the area, urgent repair of all faulty circuit breakers as backups, and uninterrupted electricity supply to every part of the hospital.
It also issued a seven-day ultimatum to UCH management from Oct. 12 to Oct. 19, after which it said it might proceed with an indefinite strike should the demands remain unmet. (NAN)
