The protesters under the banner of the PSEB Death Case Union are protesting for the past 70 days and have blocked all gates of the office for more than a week as a result of which officials and employees are working from other locations.

On Sunday, senior officials of district administration met representatives of the protesting union and appealed them to lift their dharna for the convenience of the public.

Additional deputy commissioner Gurpreet Singh said the state government is holding discussions on their demands. “The government has constituted a committee under the chairmanship of principal secretary (power) KAP Sinha,” he said.
