Contractual employees in Mohali have called for their positions to be made permanent and have cautioned that a strike may follow if their demand is ignored.
A group of contractual staff employed in various government and private establishments in Mohali has formally requested that their jobs be regularised. The petition, submitted to the district administration, cites job insecurity and delayed benefits as key concerns. Representatives said that without permanent status, workers face uncertainty that hampers their livelihood.
The employees warned that they are prepared to launch a strike or other collective action if the demand is not addressed promptly. Union leaders indicated that a protest could be organised within the next few days, targeting key public service points to draw attention to the issue.
Authorities have not yet issued a definitive response, but officials indicated that the matter will be reviewed in upcoming departmental meetings. The situation remains under close observation as the deadline for potential industrial action approaches.
