The Bihar Revenue and Land Reforms Department has refuted reports claiming that the strike by dismissed special survey contract employees has ended following a meeting with the Chief Secretary. These reports also suggested the Chief Secretary had assured action on some of their demands. The department clarified that these reports are false, misleading, and untrue. According to the department, the alleged meeting was not part of any official discussions. The Chief Secretary was, in fact, meeting with some Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs), and an individual from a union accompanied one of the MLAs. This individual attempted to raise the issue of the contract workers’ strike personally, but the Chief Secretary clearly stated that the department’s decision would stand and no personal assurances were given. The department urges all parties to rely only on information from authorized and authentic sources and to avoid being misled by such deceptive propaganda.
