5 November 2011 Asia India: Police break up Punjab government employees’ protest

Large contingents of police forcefully broke up a demonstration by thousands of female Punjab government employees in Chandigarh on October 30. The workers had been protesting for three hours.

The employees, including part-time sewing teachers, midday meal workers and accredited social health activists from many areas of the far northern state of India, are paid meagre monthly salaries of between 750 rupees ($US15.30) and 1,000 rupees.

Demonstrators said they had handed their charter of demands to Punjab’s chief minister several times before, but with no response. They want the state government to provide them with at least the minimum wage for an unskilled government employee of 147 rupees per day—around 3,000 rupees a month.

Pakistan power workers protest privatisation

Nearly 800 employees of the power generator Pakistan Electric Power Company (PEPCO), along with hundreds of power distribution utility workers in Islamabad, Faisalabad, Lahore and Gujranwala, walked off the job for the day on Tuesday to protest the government’s plan to privatise the utilities. Workers locked down 126 sub-divisional offices during the strike. Protests over the planned privatisation began in January when thousands of power utility workers struck in major cities across the nation.
