The Uttarakhand Ministerial Collectorate Employees Union (UMCEU) called off its two-day old strike after receiving assurance from the State Government on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, work in the Collectorate was adversely affected as UMCEU members stayed away from their works on the second consecutive day on Tuesday in support of their nine-point demands.
Ashish Verma, member of UMCEU, said that the strike has been called off after association members had met the secretary, revenue. He said that the senior Government officers had assured them of taking measures to redress their demands on Tuesday evening. They would resume their work from Wednesday, he informed.
Meanwhile, with the ministerial Collectorate employee Union remaining on strike for the second day, the visitors who reach the Collectorate to have their grievances addressed returned empty-handed. like Monday, the agitating employees reached the Collectorate and staged a sit-in in support of their pending demands on Tuesday too. They shouted slogans against the State Government and demanded their grievances being promptly addressed.
A member of the union said despite written assurances given by the State Government regarding their long-pending demands, their concerns are yet to be addressed. Moreover, despite the Cabinet having taken decisions over some of their demands no concrete step has been taken vis-a-vis their demands, the member said. The demands include 10 per cent seats of Nayab Tehsildar being reserved for ministerial employees and re-jigging the Collectorate, among others.
