"These employees are doing good job and have contributed immensely during the pandemic period," Libang said, adding, a committee has been set up with the state Chief Secretary to examine the status and frame out some mechanism for regularization of their services.  
Earlier, while raising the issue, Mangfi strongly advocated for regularization of the non technical staff serving under various vertical programmes of the Govt of India in the Health & Family Welfare department. He said that just as the technical staff have been absorbed in phased manner, government should work on absorbing the non technical staff also as both the categories of employees have been recruited with proper laid down procedures of the government in the line of other states like Manipur and Assam.
