Pressure gripped near Telangana Chief Minister's official residence Hyderabad on Wednesday as a large number of outsourcing nurses whose services were terminated tried to stage a protest, according to a report. The nurses reportedly alleged that the government threw them out of employments after using their services during Covid-19 pandemic.

Demanding their reinstatement, the nurses attempted to march towards Pragati Bhawan, the official residence of the Chief Minister in Begumpet. When police personnel stopped the protestors, they sat on the roads raising slogans against the government. Police personnel had a tough time in controlling the situation as some nurses tried to run towards the Pragati Bhawan. Policewomen chased the protestors to stop them for barging in. They were physically lifted and taken to the waiting police vehicles.

The report adds, that the nurses were shifted to different police stations. The protestors alleged that a total of 1,640 nurses serving in the government-run hospitals across the state on outsourcing bases were removed from services. The nurses were recruited specifically for Covid-19 duties in March last year. They had Tuesday staged a demonstration at the office of Director of Medical Education (DME).
