Officials and employees of Bastar division who were on strike called by Samyukta Adhikari, Karmachari Sangharsh Morcha from July 5 to July 16 will be sanctioned leave by the state government for the strike period. In a letter sent to Bastar division commissioner on July 24, the General Administration Department of Chhattisgarh has made it clear that after getting application from the officials and employees who were on strike, competent authority should sanction leave for the strike period as per rule.
Deputy secretary of General Administration Department G R Churendra informed that Bastar division officials and staff of all 7 districts were on strike for 12 days. However, the state government, considering the issue sympathetically has decided to sanction the leave for this period as per rule.
