The protesting safai karamcharis in Haryana on Monday announced to extend their protest till May 17 as their talks with the State Government failed to yield a positive result.
As their strike entered its sixth day on Monday, the State Government, in a bid to pacify the agitating employees called them for a meeting in the national capital.
Anand Mohan Sharan, Principal Secretary, Urban local Bodies, Haryana Government held the meeting with a delegation of protesting employees and urged them to return to their duties as most of their demands have been met. The protesting employees, however, have refused to return to work till all their demands are met and also announced to extend their strike for three more days. After the meeting, Anand Mohan Sharan while talking to the mediapersons said that they did not give any notice to the State Government before proceeding on a strike last week.
