Over 16 lakh govt employees go on strike in UP
Over 16 lakh government employees in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday began a three-day strike, demanding promotion and cashless medical facilities. The employees, under the Rajya Karmchari Sanyukt Parishad's (RKSP) banner, boycotted work on the first day and held protests to press for their demands. RKSP said the UP government is yet to fulfil its demands, which were accepted in 2013.
