  Chaos prevailed for over five hours on the two-kilometre stretch of Vidhan Sabha Marg and Ashok Marg in Lucknow’s Hazratganj area, following violent clash between the police and state employees on Thursday. Following this, teachers and employees of several government departments across the state decided to go on an indefinite strike to protest against police lathicharge on the protesting employees.  

Six employees reportedly have sustained critical injuries in the lathicharge, said B P Mishra, president of teachers-employees’ joint front.  

On Thursday, the employees called an agitation outside the Vidhan Sabha demanding pay and allowances at par with Central government staff. They were also demanding bonus and the implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations.  

The situation turned worse when the employees indulged in a clash with the policemen at Bapu Bhawan crossing when they were prevented to march towards the Vidhan Sabha.

Lucknow DIG Prem Prakash arrived at the spot accompanied by additional force and lathicharged the agitating employees. Even women were not spared. The employees ran into the Indira Bhawan and Jawahar Bhawan on Ashok Marg for cover. The policemen caught hold of about 10 employees and assaulted them. Those who had taken refuge in the two buildings, started throwing stones on the policemen. The clash continued for over two-and-half hours, in which, several vehicles were damaged.

“When had the permission to hold the protest, why our members, who had come from districts like Sitapur, Rae Bareli and Unnao detained at the Lucknow border? The agitation was bound to follow. We are ready to interact with the government but no one has approached us till now,” said Mishra
