Employees of state AIDS prevention and control society protested against the authorities in the press colony on Thursday alleging that they are paid very less wages as compared to the employees of the same department in other states.

The protestors included counselors, lab technicians and other staff members working in the department.

Protesters were demanding the regularization of the contractual staff and also increase in their wages.

“The employees working in other states in the same department are paid adequately by the central government, but here they are paying us less” an employee said.

The protesters threatened to go on an indefinite strike if their demands were not met.
