The medical representatives had submitted a memorandum outlining their demands, urging immediate action to ensure the protection of healthcare workers.
Both ministers expressed their commitment to the demands and assured that steps would be taken to safeguard medical personnel. In a bid to rebuild trust and mitigate fear within the medical community, the government also announced that a mass meeting with healthcare workers will be convened at TRIHMS, Naharlagun, on 13th September 2025 at 8 AM.
