Mysore/Mysuru: Gram Panchayat workers, under the banner of Karnataka State Gram Panchayat Employees Association (CITU Affiliated), staged a protest in city on Tuesday in support of their demands which included payment of pending salary and direct recruitment of Grade-2 posts.
They said that the Finance Department had given permission for the direct appointment of Grade-2 posts such as Bill Collectors, Secretary and Second Division Account Assistant. Accordingly, the Government had issued a recruitment notification on July 2, but it was withdrawn the next day. This had done injustice to those employees who are on the verge of retirement after serving for 20 to 25 years. The July 3 notification must be withdrawn immediately, they added.
