Jammu: Several workers engaged under the National Health Mission (NHM) were detained here on Wednesday after they staged a protest against their termination and demanded the continuation of their services, officials said.
The police acted against the health workers shortly after they staged a sit-in in front of the statue of Maharaja Hari Singh near Tawi bridge in the heart of the city, the officials said.
They said several workers, both men and women, were detained and whisked away in a police bus.
