Stating that lab technicians have been playing a crucial role in COVID-19 management as frontline warriors, he regretted that the government is yet to fulfil their demand.
The association has also demanded the vacant posts of junior and senior microbiologists and research assistant posts to be filled up by modifying the cadre rules.
