Demanding regularisation of posts, the contractual employees of the Government Watershed Development Project staged a dharna before the Collectorate and submitted a memorandum to the Kalahandi Collector here.

Their demands included long-term projects instead of short-term ones, budget sanction under non-plan allotments, DA, house rent, EPF, life insurance, two-wheeler vehicles, revised salary structure, recruitment of contractual employees by a State-level selection committee instead that of district-level and cancellation of intra-district transfer.

Employees’ Union president Trinath Dash, secretary Bimal Kumar Bhoi and vice-president Bhanu Prakash Rath threatened to resort to agitation and boycott their duties, if their demands are not met within seven days. They decided to go on mass agitation before the State Assembly on February 9.
