Government employees assigned to duty in the upcoming Panchayat elections in West Bengal are experiencing fear and distress following a recent altercation involving a government employee at the BDO office in South 24 Parganas.
The Sangri United Forum, a collective organization of employee associations, is preparing to file a petition in the High Court seeking redress.
Today, a petition will be submitted to Chief Justice TS Sivagnanam's bench. The employee organizations have been consistently protesting for Dearness Allowance (DA) and had previously filed a petition in the Calcutta High Court, demanding the deployment of central forces to ensure election security.
In light of the attack on a government employee in South 24 Parganas, they will reiterate this demand for enhanced security measures.
