Karnal, August 20

Thousands of employees of various departments under the banner of the ‘Haryana Karamchari Mahasangh’ today held a state-level ‘Aakrosh rally’ at Sector 12 here in support of their demands, including salary at par with Punjab employees, regular jobs for contractual workers, cashless medical facility for employees, etc.

During the rally, the union leaders blamed the state government of being “anti-employee” and demanded fulfilment of their demands.

After the rally, the employees took out a march towards the Chief Minister’s camp office. They tried to cross the barricades installed near the office but failed to do so. The protesters were adamant to stage a dharna outside the camp office and were demanding a meeting with Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.

They handed over a memorandum to the teshildar, who promised them a meeting with the Chief Minister on September 13. The employees threatened to start a fast from September 20 if the government failed to issue a notification regarding their demands.

“The mahasangh will meet Manohar Lal Khattar on September 13 and if the government did not issue a notification regarding our demands, we will start a fast in Karnal,” said Virender Singh Dhankar, state general secretary of the mahasangh.

“If our demands are still not met, we will court mass arrests at the district headquarters on November 7,” he added.

Yadav said they had two meetings with the Chief Minister and two with Finance Minister Capt Abhimanyu but nothing had been done so far.
