Opposition has begun in Chhattisgarh’s Gariaband district to an order sending 97 operators about 180 kilometres away. Angered by the order, the operators have announced a road blockade and rally on November 13. They allege that prescribed rules were violated in the transfer process.

The operators say being sent so far away will create difficulties for them in work and travel. Their protest is mainly over the distance of the transfers and the process by which the order was issued. Questioning the administrative decision concerned, they have said it is not in accordance with the rules.

As part of the protest, preparations have been made to take out a rally and stage a road blockade on November 13. The operators say that until their demands are considered, they will continue to put forward their position through the agitation.

The administration’s stand in the matter will now be watched. The operators’ main demand is a review of the transfer order and a decision in accordance with the rules. However, the position of the department that issued the order and detailed information related to the alleged rule violations are still awaited.
