Gandhinagar: Seeking implementation of sixth pay commission recommendations, nearly eight lakh Gujarat government employees will take mass casual leave on Thursday.

Organised by the Gujarat Rajya Karmachari Samiti, the mass CL programme was finalised after the expiry of the deadline for withdrawing police cases and transfer orders against employee leaders.

However, 2,500 employees of the New Sachivalaya Association and about 2 lakh probationers are not taking part in the strike.
It is for the first time in the recent history of Gujarat that such a show of strength is being displayed by different employee and officers associations.
