DA issue: Agitating Bengal government employees will send a mass email to the President

Kolkata (IANS) | A day after President Draupadi Murmu arrived in Kolkata on Monday to attend the annual convocation ceremony of Visva Bharati University in West Bengal’s Birbhum district, state government employees took to the streets against non-payment of dearness allowance. Arriar has decided to greet them with a massive email outlining their demands in the matter. According to a spokesperson of the Joint Forum of State Government Employees, in a massive email, the forum will also highlight how the state government is resorting to ‘vindictive’ show-cause notices and transferring employees, who participated in the strike called by it on 10 March.

In a mass email to the President, the Forum will also seek his intervention in resolving the ongoing impasse on the issue.

A spokesperson of the United Forum said that a similar email would be sent to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the same day in this matter.

The United Forum has already announced that they will go on a mass holiday on March 30, apart from organizing a mega protest rally on the streets of Kolkata on the same day.

On the other hand, the Manch will organize a two-day sit-in demonstration from April 10 at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. The ‘Digital Disobedience’ movement is already being demonstrated by the State Government employees against the State Government on Dearness Allowance.

Earlier, they observed a one-day strike and a two-day pen-down strike over the issue.
