Public
Health Inspectors (PHI) in the North Central Province (NCP) plan to
launch a continuous strike from Wednesday to protest the actions of the
provincial health officials.
Deputy Secretary of the Public Health Inspectors Union of Sri Lanka
(PHIUSL), C.S. Muthukuda has told local media that the strike will be
launched to protest the allegations of embezzlement leveled against the
General Secretary of the Association, A. M. Senarath Bandara.
The union official said the health
officials in the North Central Province were acting against the
interests of the PHIs' union and Bandara was given a transfer without a
proper inquiry of the charges. According to the President of the union,
Upul Rohana the General Secretary has made a complaint against the
Regional Epidemiologist (RE), of the Polonnaruwa District for pilfering
the transport allowance given to him. However, the provincial health
officials have transferred PHI Bandara and kept the RE who is alleged of
misappropriation of allowances.
