Sangrur, November 1
The indefinite strike of state government clerical employees, under the banner of Punjab State Ministerial Services Union Punjab, is badly affecting the working of government offices.
Many residents have been making repeated rounds of government offices for various services. “I need a copy of old land records and it’s the third time that I have come here today. But owing to the ongoing strike for the last many days, there is none in the office,” said Parvinder Singh, a resident of Balial village. Union district general secretary Rajveer Badrukhan said they were demanding pay commission benefits for those employees who had joined after January 2016 and old pension scheme for all those who had joined after January 2004. — TNS
