PUNE: Arogya Mitras—the field staff helping patients to avail treatment under the Mahatma Jyotirao Phule Jan Arogya Yojana (MJPJAY) and Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY)—have decided to go on an indefinite statewide strike from February 12, 2025 over longstanding grievances.

The Arogya Mitra Employees Union, affiliated to the Centre of Trade Unions, has issued notice of an indefinite statewide strike on January 20, 2025 under section 21(1) of the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Unions and Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices (MRTU and PULP) Act 1971 to the government and other stakeholders.

The Maharashtra State Health Society and allied organisations have given the government 21 days from Monday, January 20, 2025 to meet the union's demands; failing which, Arogya Mitras will go on an indefinite statewide strike.
