Srinagar, Sep 17: The Jammu & Kashmir National Health Mission Employees Association (JKNHMEA) on Thursday announced extension of its ongoing peaceful protest/strike by another 72 hours across the Union Territory.
In a communication addressed to the Mission Director, National Health Mission, J&K, the association as per GNS said the extended strike will commence from September 18, 2026.

The association reiterated that the protest will remain completely peaceful, democratic and constitutional, and all participating employees shall maintain discipline and uphold public order.
The association said it remains committed to dialogue and constructive engagement and hopes the Government will initiate meaningful and time-bound measures for resolution of genuine grievances of NHM employees.
