Striking workers of the 108 ambulance scheme will gherao the Madhya Pradesh assembly here on Wednesday in support of their demands.

Around 3,000 ambulance workers have been on strike for the past one week and have been holding a sit-in at the Idgah ground in the state capital, their union leader Aslam Khan said.

Khan said the striking workers' leaders held talks at the Additional Labour Commissioner's office on Monday evening with representatives of the company running the ambulance service in the state but there was no consensus on their working hours and salary.

A one-day session of the assembly is scheduled to be held on Wednesday.
