Employees ready to agitate with the demand to abolish the fixed pay system

In Gujarat, once again, signs of a major revolt are emerging against the 'fixed pay', i.e., the regular wage system, which has been the center of controversy for years in various government schemes and departments. A large association representing thousands of young employees of the state has decided to wage a decisive battle against the government.

Harsh attacks are being made by employee associations against the fixed pay policy. Accusing this policy, the employees stated, "The fixed pay policy is direct exploitation of educated youth." With this demand, employees are now in the mood for a fierce agitation.

Social media is being actively used to give momentum to this agitation. Messages to reach the Secretariat are continuously being circulated on various WhatsApp groups, Facebook, and Twitter. Messages regarding the dates of the agitation and laying siege to the Secretariat are going viral rapidly through social media, due to which the state's administrative machinery and Gandhinagar police have immediately come into alert mode.

Angered by this agitation of the employees, the Intelligence Bureau (IB) has also become active. To deal with any unforeseen situation and to prevent employees from entering the Secretariat complex, strict steps have been taken by the administrative machinery. Tight police deployment has been deployed at the entry gates and main circles of the Secretariat.

Iron police guard has been arranged on all roads leading towards the Secretariat. Barricades have been placed across the main roads since early morning. Intensive checking of incoming and outgoing vehicles is also being carried out by the police so that no untoward incident takes place.
