Following the assurance given by health department officials that their services would be regularized soon, the
agitating nurses of Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, Warangal, on Tuesday withdrew their protest.
The protesting nurses, who had climbed up an overhead water tank as part of agitation, came down after health department officials communicated to them that the government would regularize their services.
14 nurses had climbed the water tank on hospital premises, and threatened to end their lives if the government failed to meet their demands.
Earlier, minister for medical education P Sudarshan Reddy assured the agitating nurses that the government would look into their demands favourably. The minister said 176 nurse posts would be regularized from the district out of recruitments taken up for 1,592 nurse posts.
The TRS had, meanwhile, called for a Warangal bandh on Wednesday in support of agitating nurses, demanding regularization of their services.
