Fatehgarh Sahib. May.18, 2020: The Revenue Patwar Union in a meeting held here today has decided that all the patwaris of Fatehgarh Sahib will organize dharna in front of DC office on 20th May from 10AM to 1 PM in support of their demands and against the dictatorial attitude of AC (G), whereas AC(G) has refuted all allegations.
Jaswinder Singh District President of union said that this decision was taken after the meeting with Deputy Commissioner, ADC(G), SDMs,AC(G) and other officials remain inconclusive as no concrete solution to their demands including promotions and insult of State President did not come out. He said though the attitude of DC during the meeting was very co-operative but the union decided that till promotions are not made and AC (G) appologises from Union dharna will continue. He said that the Patwaris will ensure social distancing and wear black badges.
It is worth mentioning that union had sought the time from Deputy Commissioner to apprise her about their problems and to discuss about the promotions as 6 posts of Kanungo are lying vacant in the district one from the last five months, but DC urged State President to meet AC(G). He alleged that earlier AC (G) refused to meet him and after his insistance he misbehaved and insulted him. He said that all the Patwaris have been working tirelessly as front line COVID warriors during pandemic and even the cremations of COVID affected were performed by Patwaris without caring risk to their lives. They have neither been provided sanitisers, masks or PPE Kits nor bothered to ask if they are facing any problem amid COVID duty.
Jaspreet Singh AC (G) had refuted all allegations and said that Mohan Singh Patwari came to him regarding his own promotion case, he told him that there are so many other urgent works amid COVID pandemic and we will see to it latter.
