SHILLONG: The EMRI Workers’ Union started its black flag and black ribbon agitation on Friday to press for their demands.
Black flags were put up on ambulances as a sign of protest by the staff of 108.
On Thursday morning, the EMRI Workers’ Union served a 24-hour ultimatum to the EMRI management to resolve the problems faced by it.
The union bemoaned the lack of staff and demanded of the management to recruit at least 3 paramedics and 3 pilots. Currently, there are 204 field staff spread across the state.
However, to ensure no inconvenience is caused to the general public, the Union said the services will continue while also going ahead with their agitation.
