Deadlock at Dinajpur Sadar Hospital continued as the employees are still on strike protesting alleged assault on two of their colleagues by civil surgeon (CS) on January 26, hospital sources said. The third and fourth class employees are observing work abstention wearing black badges and demanding immediate removal of the civil surgeon. CS Dr Nazrul Islam allegedly assaulted Abdul Jabbar and Abdus Salam at his office 'for no reason', said workers union president Shahidul Islam. When the hospital employees wanted to know from the civil surgeon about the incident, he again misbehaved with them, he said. Later, both the injured employees were admitted to Dinajpur Medical College Hospital for treatment. The employees, at a press conference held here on February 02, declared that they will go for a greater agitation from February 15 if their demand is not met within the stipulated time. The CS could not be contacted for his comments as he was not available at his office at the time of filing this report.
