Thousands of Employees and Pensioners from Mohali to Attend Rally in Sangrur on October 10
SAS Nagar October 2 — A special meeting of the office-bearers of the Mohali District unit of the Joint Coordination Committee (JCC) of employees’ and pensioners’ organizations was held at Panchayat Bhawan, Mohali.
The meeting focused on preparations for a rally to be held in Sangrur on October 10—organized under the aegis of the JCC to address long-pending demands of employees and pensioners—as well as a self-assessment of the ongoing agitation. Representatives from various departments, along with district-level and several state-level leaders of pensioners’ organizations, were present.
Participants at the meeting asserted that they would lead a large contingent—comprising thousands of employees and pensioners from Mohali district—to participate in the rally. The leaders asserted that they would set a new record by organizing an unprecedented gathering in Sangrur, thereby compelling the government to accede to their demands.
They stated that by announcing an 8% Dearness Allowance (DA) on September 18, the government had attempted to sabotage the ongoing struggle led by various organizations—a struggle aimed at securing the fulfillment of long-pending demands by employees and pensioners. In this context, the Joint Coordination Committee has decided to continue the fight until the government’s order regarding the 8% DA is rejected, the directives issued by the Hon’ble High Court are implemented, and all other pending demands are accepted.
Leaders from various organizations, including Sukhdev Singh Saini and Karam Singh Dhanoa (a retired Inspector), were present at the meeting. Mahinder Singh, Tajinder Singh, Amit Katoch, ND Tiwari, Gurpyar Singh Kotli, Rajinder Kaur, Baljinder Kaur, Charanjit Singh, Harkrishan Singh, Parvinder Pal Singh, Lakhwinder Singh, Balwinder Kumar, Amrik Singh, Pavneet Kumar, Harjit Singh Basota, Subhash Gill, Gurjit Singh, Jasbir Singh, Jagdish Singh, Baljinder Kaur, Gurwinder Singh, Harish Kumar, and others were present.
