JAMMU, July 27: Demanding creation of fresh posts of dental surgeons in Government Hospitals across J&K, scores of unemployed dental surgeons have been staging protest at Amphalla Chowk in Jammu for last over one month.
Staging demonstration, the protesting youth said that they have been loafing with wild thoughts of fear and stress, being broke and penurious over their poor future job prospects despite doing professional courses in dentistry.
“Our employment woes have not been addressed since 2008 when Government last officially advertised posts for inducement of dental surgeons in Health Department. Since then thousands of dental surgeons are hopeless and jobless. The reason for this unemployment clearly follows a mismatch between supply and demand in health sector,” they added.
