Ludhiana: If you are planning to get your work done at municipal corporation office on Thursday, reschedule your visit. For, all the MC employees will be on a strike in support of other department unions’ protest against the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations. They will also take part in a rally at Patiala Dana Mandi organised by state-level unions.
The Municipal Employees’ Sangharsh Committee members met mayor Balkar Sandhu and MC commissioner Pardeep Sabharwal and handed over a memorandum as notice before the strike on Wednesday. They assured them that no essential service will be affected.
Municipal Employees’ Sangharsh Committee president and MC secretary Jasdev Sekhon said, “We are supporting the state-level unions and will go to Patiala for the protest rally. The employees and the officials will not work on Thursday. But essential services will not be affected.”
