Resolve problem soon

We used to face many strikes and bandh called by sister organizations of the political parties in the past to press the government to fulfill their demands. Many sick and elderly people lost their lives on the way to hospitals due to these irresponsible and insensible acts. The political leadership in the country was occupied by senior leaders of major political parties following the restoration of democracy. But the common people were one way or the other had to suffer mentally, physically and economically due to the irresponsible behaviour of the political parties.

The nation is now a republic and has entered the federal structure since the last two years. The government has restructured the civil servants’ positions and location based on the need of this structure as per the constitution. However, the three tiers of government are still facing difficulties to adjust their human resources to run governments and serve the people. There has not been smooth placement of staff at all levels. A few months ago, thousands of civil servants dared to stage protest against the new civil service bill. After a series of talks between the government and representatives of the civil servants, it seems now the problem has been partially solved.

The government doctors are protesting against the new provision in the Civil Servant Adjustment Act and have stopped treating patients throughout the country. This situation has severely affected the patients. It is surprising to see the government’s apathy towards their demand. Threatening the agitating doctors could further worsen the situation.
