All the administrative officers posted in Gwalior district have submitted a demand to the District Collector to go on mass leave on Wednesday.

She said that all the Gazetted officers of the district have submitted applications to the Collector to go on leave on Wednesday. During the dharna and demonstration, they would submit a memorandum to the collector P Narhari about their demands. In this connection, an emergency meeting was held on Tuesday to give the final touches to the strategy of the agitation.
In Morena also, the president of MP State Administrative Service Association said that during the last 10 years, the elected representatives and their supporters have misbehaved with the Government servants many a time, but the Government has taken no action in these cases. Hence, the incidents of misbehaviour continue to increase. “The Government servants have their self respect as well. We are citizens of free country and have fundamental rights, so in protest, the MP administrative service associations have given a call of total shutdown on Wednesday,” he added. The district president said that all the Government servants would gather on Wednesday at 8.30 am at collectorate and hold a meeting where a detailed account of incidents of misbehaviour would be given.
The nodal officer would administer oath that if the self respect of any Government servant is hurt, they would protest collectively. The district president has appealed to all the officers and employees to join the agitation and make it successful. But the schools and hospitals would be exempted.
