Gujarat Revenue Employees Announce Indefinite Strike from October 7

Revenue employees across Gujarat have announced a mass leave on Monday, October 6, and an indefinite statewide strike from October 7 if the government does not resolve their long-pending demands. The protest may affect revenue services in Mamlatdar offices, Collector offices and other government offices across the state.

The Revenue Employees Federation has been demanding a solution to 14 pending issues related to employees of the Revenue Department. The main issues include promotions, transfers and job charts. Employees say that they have repeatedly approached the government, but their problems have still not been resolved.

Employees Say 38 Representations Had No Result

According to the employees, written and oral representations were made to the state government and administration 38 times in one year. However, they claim that there has been no positive response or final solution.

The agitation involves employees working at different levels of the Revenue Department, including Deputy Mamlatdars, Revenue Talatis and clerical staff. The employees say their demands have remained pending for a long time, leading to growing dissatisfaction among them.

Government Warns Employees of Disciplinary Action

The state government has also taken the issue seriously after the announcement of the mass leave. The Revenue Department has instructed district Collectors to make sure that employees are present at work on Monday.

Employees who remain absent despite the government order could face strict administrative and disciplinary action, including a possible service break, according to the warning issued by the administration.

Farmers and Citizens May Face Problems

The strike could affect several important government services used by people across Gujarat. Work related to land records, land documents, certificates and other revenue matters may be delayed if employees remain away from work.

Farmers may also face difficulties in completing land-related work. Common citizens who visit Mamlatdar and Collector offices for certificates and other documents could have to wait longer for their work to be completed.

Government Faces Pressure to Find a Solution

The situation has now become a dispute between the Revenue Employees' Federation and the state government. Employees want the government to address their 14 demands before the strike begins.

The government must now decide whether to hold talks with the employees and find a solution or allow the protest to continue. If no agreement is reached, the indefinite strike from October 7 could seriously disrupt revenue-related work across Gujarat.
