A month long strike by over 3 lakhs Bihar government employees ended following a Patna High Court order.
A division bench of the high court ordered the association of the government employees to end the strike after the state government assured the leaders that it would consider their demands.
The court directed the employees to return to work and ordered the government to resolve the deadlock by March 31.
Earlier, the government had submitted before the high court that it will not hold negotiations with the employees until they return to work.
Last week, the government decided to terminate the services of the striking employees. It had reportedly prepared the termination letters of nearly 1,000 employees to break the strike.
The employees went on a strike for an indefinite period from Jan 7 demanding implementation of the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission in “letter and spirit”. The government had refused the demands citing funds crunch.
