Outsourced health workers employed under the National Urban Health Mission (NUHM) through contractor DS Enterprises called off their protest on Thursday evening following an intervention by Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde.

The workers had been protesting at Azad Maidan since August 31, 2026, over several pending demands. A delegation of the protesting employees met Tawde at the Mayor’s office at the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) headquarters on Thursday and submitted a letter formally announcing the withdrawal of the agitation.
