The other issues, which were raised, included re-shifting of the departments handed over to panchayati raj institutions and service benefits to be given to all the employees in a time-bound manner.

"We are also demanding that the government should reverse the traditional pension system to save interests of employees. All the present policies of the state government are anti-employee," said Harinder Singh Cheema, district convener of the committee.

The employees also burnt an effigy of the state government.
