If the Government fails to release the pending wages immediately, NHM employees will be compelled to intensify their protest,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nDivisional President Jammu, Dr Vikas Sharma, said the patience of employees has reached its limit as repeated assurances from authorities have not translated into action.<br \/>\n\u201cDespite several promises, salaries remain unpaid. The Government must take urgent steps to release the dues and prevent the situation from escalating,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nSenior vice president Kashmir Altaf Bhat termed the situation unfortunate, saying employees who form the backbone of healthcare services are facing uncertainty and financial hardship.<br \/>\n\u201cMany workers are struggling to meet their household expenses during this sacred month of Ramadan,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nChief Spokesperson Kashmir Division Abdul Rauoof said salaries were the legitimate right of employees and not a favour.<br \/>\n\u201cSalary is not charity-it is our legitimate and constitutional right. If the Government fails to clear the pending salaries immediately, NHM employees will stage a massive protest at Sher-e-Kashmir Park on March 16. Employees cannot celebrate Eid without salaries,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nThe Joint Coordination Committee, however, expressed hope that the Government will take immediate steps to clear the dues so that employees can observe Eid-ul-Fitr with dignity and peace.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_35646\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35646\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-35646\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/No-Salary-300x164.jpg\" alt=\"No salaries for 3 months, NHM employees warn of protest\" width=\"300\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/No-Salary-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/No-Salary-768x419.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/No-Salary-549x299.jpg 549w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/No-Salary-470x256.jpg 470w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/No-Salary-233x127.jpg 233w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/No-Salary-230x125.jpg 230w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/No-Salary-360x196.jpg 360w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/No-Salary-100x55.jpg 100w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/No-Salary.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-35646\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">No salaries for 3 months, NHM employees warn of protest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SRINAGAR, Mar 13: Even as Eid-ul-Fitr approaches and the holy month of Ramadan is underway, employees working under the National Health Mission in J&amp;K today said they have been without salaries for the last three months, pushing many families into severe financial distress.
