The employees organised a meeting at the office of the UP Roadways Employees’ Union (UPREU) in Varanasi on Sunday and reiterated their stand against the government in support of their demands.

Regional president of UPREU, Awdhesh Pandey, said Naresh Agrawal was himself involved in gross irregularities in buying new buses. The chief minister should intervene into the matter and dismiss him from the State Cabinet.

He said the minister’s action to sack striking employees was completely unlawful as the roadways employees were peacefully participating in the symbolic strike for their genuine demands.

Pandey informed that a meeting of the office bearers of the UP Roadways Employees’ Union was held in Lucknow to chalk out a strategy for the future course of action in which it was decided that the employees would go on an indefinite strike from July 18.

He said a delegation of UPREU will meet the district magistrate on Monday and hand over a charters of demands to him to be forwarded to the chief minister.
Those who participated in the meeting included Arvind Mis-hra, SK Srivastava, Mu-mtaz Ali, Ramnaresh Upadhyay, Sudhir Kumar and Indresh Kumar Mishra.
