He said that these CP workers are working in PHE Department for the past 12 years, but unfortunately their data has not been put online and also they are not included in Aadhar based Bio-Metric attendance system.
“The status of CP workers is now changed as part time labourer after 12 years of working and no facilities are being provided to them like other division CP workers”, he added.
We will continue our hunger strike, till the Government release out pending salaries and redress other issues, he stated.
