Medical technologists and pharmacists at Dhaka National Medical Institute Hospital observed a two-hour work stoppage on Tuesday, demanding implementation of the 10th grade pay scale. The strike took place from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., during which the protesters gathered in front of the hospital’s outpatient department to voice their grievances. They alleged that despite working under hazardous conditions during crises such as COVID-19 and dengue outbreaks, they have been denied fair pay and promotion parity with other diploma-holding officers who were upgraded to second-class status.

Leaders of the technologists’ association criticized the interim government for ignoring their repeated appeals and vowed to continue their peaceful protests until the 10th grade implementation is realized.
