Ludhiana, August 3

Visitors were a harried lot again as employees at the DC’s office continued their strike on Tuesday.

Members of The Punjab State District (DC) Offices Employees Union had gone on a pen-down strike yesterday to mark their protest against the state government for not fulfilling their demands.

Employees of the DC office, SDM office and tehsil-level offices are participating in the protest. Thus, works related to property registration, marriage registration, arms licences related and others are getting affected.

A resident, Satish Kumar, said: “Common people are forced to make repeated rounds to get their works done at government offices as employees are on strike. The government should take steps for the convenience of people and resolve the issue at the earliest.”

President of the union Gurnam Singh Virk said they would take a mass leave on Wednesday.
