BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh Mantralayin Karmachari Sangh has decided to protest over its long-pending demands.
The agitation was planned in three phases.
In the first stage, employees and officials of the state secretariat would assemble on gate number-6 of the secretariat and hand over a memorandum to chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan highlighting their pending demands. In the next phase, the employees would stage a dharna and later will go on mass leave.
Their pending demands mainly include salary hike pending for two years, pending dearness allowance and promotions pending for the past five years.
The Sangh also constituted a three-member committee to decide the dates of agitation and to hand over memorandum to the chief minister.
Office-bearers said the decision to start the agitation was taken in the working committee meeting of the Sangh called on Monday. Earlier, government employees protested in March this year over the state budget. The Employees union had addressed a public meeting and taken out a rally outside the secretariat. The employees union stated in the state budget that for 2021-2022, there was no provision made for pending dearness allowance or releasing of salary increments for the government employees. It led to government employees getting disheartened.
The government employees have not got promotions for the past five years and the future looks bleak. Several other issues of government employees were left unaddressed, the employees union stated.
