Mancherial: Strike by panchayat secretaries enters second day

The agitating secretaries demanded regularization of their posts immediately and to consider the probation period of 4 years into service

Mancherial: The indefinite strike launched by junior panchayat secretaries and outsourced panchayat secretaries in demand of regularization of their jobs continued for the second day here on Saturday.

Rakesh, one of the secretaries, said they were appointed four years back, but their posts were not regularized so far. Prathibha, another secretary, regretted that they were not feeling secure due to delay in regularization of the jobs and were discharging duties by drawing comparatively lower salaries.
