The four women Gaon Sathis, who were arrested and sent to the Jharpada jail here on Wednesday for self-immolation bid in front of the Naveen Niwas demanding job regularisation and monthly incentive, resorted to an indefinite hunger strike in the jail on Thursday.
Following this, the Gaon sathi Sangha Milita Kriyanushtana State Committee held an emergency meeting here under the chairmanship of Sangha state coordinator laxmidhar Biswal.
At the meeting, it was decided that all Gaon Sathis across the State would submit memorandum to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik through their respective BDOs and Collectors on Friday demanding withdrawal of the false cases charged against the four Gaon Sathis, job regularization of eligible Gaon Sathis and monthly incentives to under literate Gaon Sathis in the State.
It was also decided that if the Government does not fulfil the demands even after this, all Gaon Sathis would assemble here on December 14 to protest and decide a conclusive battle for achieving their demands.
later, it would continue its movement in a democratic way across the State, said Sangathak Pratap Mallick.
