A large number of State Secretariat employees went on a strike on Friday opposing administrative reforms and posting of officials from different departments to the Secretariat on deputation.
Many permanent employees working at the Vidhana Soudha, the Vikas Soudha, and the MS Buildings did not attend offices following a call by the Karnataka State Secretariat Employees’ Association.
Only temporary and contract staff were found working in offices at the Vidhana Soudha. Many offices remained shut on the third floor of the Secretariat.
