Service Break Imposed on 229 Striking Patwaris in Bilaspur, Salaries of 102 Withheld
The administration in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, has initiated strict action against patwaris continuing their strike, imposing a break in service on 229 employees. The salaries of 102 patwaris are also set to be withheld, while eight patwaris have already been suspended.
The action comes amid an ongoing protest by patwaris over demands related to low salaries, promotion opportunities and objections to the use of a mobile application in their official work. Despite administrative measures, the employees have continued their agitation.
The break-in-service decision is expected to affect the employees' service records and may have implications for their salary and other service-related benefits. The withholding of salaries is another step taken by the administration to put pressure on the protesting employees to resume their duties.
The strike has disrupted routine revenue-related work, including services connected with land records and other administrative responsibilities. The administration is maintaining a firm stand, while the protesting patwaris remain focused on securing a resolution to their demands.
The situation highlights the continuing deadlock between the patwaris and the administration. Further developments will depend on whether discussions between the two sides lead to an agreement and whether the employees decide to call off their strike.
