Agitated with step-motherly treatment towards given to them by senior bosses and making unnecessary move to harass them, the employees of the Income Tax Department (UP East Circle) went on a day long strike and had boycotted work from Thursday noon. The functioning due to stir of the employees affected the normal functioning at 43 centers falling in the East Circle.
Giving the information in this regard, JP Singh, general secretary of Income Tax Employees Federation, claimed that the employees of the East Circle were given step-motherly treatment from the senior officials for a very long time now and a glaring example of it is that the staff was not having proper infrastructure where they can sit and perform their duties comfortably. He said that the employees were also annoyed over the manner in which the Officers were conducting vigilance probe against them without having any ground for it. He said that most of the enquiries have been done just to harass the employees.
Besides, Singh said that they were also demanding jobs on compensatory grounds but the authorities concerned had shown no concern towards it. He said that they had appraised about the above demands several times to the senior officers but as no one showed any positive sign, hence they decided to boycott the work on Thursday. He also threatened that if the authorities would even now wake up and do the needful done, than they would be forced to chalk out further agitation plan. He said that next time, they would lodge protect in a much larger manner.
