More than 250 sales representatives in Bargarh district under the banner of the Odisha Sales Representatives’ Union (OSRU) staged a demonstration in front of the district Collectorate on Tuesday protesting against the gazette notification of the State Government on September 18 prohibiting entry of sales promotion employees in hospitals and medical colleges.
The irate sale representatives threatened that the Union will resort to a two-day strike, in the district on the first day and in the capital on next day. They said that the Union has challenged against the notification in the High Court and also submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik through the district Collector in this regard.
The Union demanded that the State Government withdraw the illegal prohibitory order and uphold the fundamental right to the sales promotion employees to work in hospitals and medical colleges.
