India: Revenue officials threaten to stage work stoppage in Rajasthan State from Jan. 13
Revenue officials threaten to hold strike in Rajasthan State, India, from Jan. 13. Related disruptions, demonstrations likely.
Land record keepers (Patwaris) and revenue supervisors (Girdavars) have threatened to stage a work stoppage across Rajasthan State from Jan. 13 to demand better working conditions. Unless averted, the labor action could impede related public services.
Although there were no immediate announcements for such gatherings, strike participants could hold demonstrations. Potential rally sites include prominent government buildings, public squares, and major thoroughfares. Participation will likely vary by location and sponsoring entity, but well-attended gatherings could attract hundreds of participants.
Authorities will likely monitor any such gatherings as a precaution. Depending on operational needs, officials could impose security restrictions. Clashes between police and activists cannot be ruled out. Disruptions to local businesses and transportation services are likely.
Plan accordingly for potential localized business and public service disruptions. As a precaution, avoid any demonstration that materializes. Keep away from locations where security personnel appear to be deploying, and leave the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near gathering sites. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
