Stakeholders from various departments are anticipated to attend, and a brief statement from the CM is likely to be released after the talks, outlining any immediate actions or timelines agreed upon.
The meeting underscores the government's effort to maintain goodwill among its workforce and retirees, whose support is considered vital for the state's administrative stability.
