The employees, who had on Tuesday observed a day-long strike, were demanding that the government withdraw its letter branding their August 27 mass casual leave taken in protest as “unauthorised leave”.
On Wednesday, a meeting was held between representatives of the manch and Chief Secretary K.A.P. Sinha here.
“We were assured that the notices will be withdrawn, and ‘no work, no pay’ would also not be implemented,” manch leader Sushil Kumar Fauji told The Hindu.
The stand-off between the employees and the government started on August 27, when over three lakh government employees launched a Statewide strike over their demands, which include restoring the Old Pension Scheme, release of pending 18% dearness allowance and regularisation of contractual employees, among others. A meeting between Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and employees’ organisation representatives was called off after Mr. Mann insisted talks could only happen once the strike was withdrawn.
“We have also been assured that a meeting with the Chief Minister will be fixed over our other demands soon,” said Mr. Kumar.
