Forestmen to resort to indefinite stir from today


ABOUT 9.000 forest guards and 3.000 foresters will resort to indefinite strike from August 25 all over Maharashtra to press their various demands including revised pay-scales. The day-to-day jungle work will get affected badly in view of the strike by the forestmen.
Forest guards and foresters attached to major unions like Maharashtra State Forest Guards and Promoted Foresters' Union and Maharashtra State Forest Guards and Foresters' Union and others would go on indefinite strike in support of their demands such as travelling allowance, promotions to staff in Wildlife Wing, getting facilities and allowance like that of policemen etc.
Ajay Patil. President of Maharashtra Forest Guards and Promoted Foresters' Union, said on Saturday that employees were left with no other option than going on indefinite strike because of delayed tactics play by State Government and refusing justice to them. He pointed out that notices have been submitted right from Head of Forest Force to the Chief Minister about indefinite strike.
Vijay Mehar. President of Maharashtra Forest Guards and Foresters Union, said that the employees were constrained to resort to agitation as the government authorities concerned failed to do justice by implementing revised pay-scales. A meeting of the union representatives would be held at Mantralaya, Mumbai with Dr Patangrao Kadam. Forest Minister, to discuss the grievances. Meanwhile, Ajay I'atil while thanking the government for regularising the services of 5089 forest labours demanded that the government should make the remaining daily-wage workers permanent in their jobs at earliest possible. He also demanded calling forest labour as forest sevak, promotions, pension scheme etc.
