Faridkot, April 23 (Alexander D’Souza): A crucial meeting of the district unit leaders of the ATK, the Class IV Government Employees Union, and the Punjab Subordinate Services Federation (1680, Sector 22-B, Chandigarh) was held in the park situated in front of the local Deputy Commissioner’s office, presided over by state leader Prem Chawla.

Addressing the gathering, employee leaders Balkar Singh Sahota, Ramesh Dhapai, Paramjit Singh Pamma, Ram Singh, Kulwant Singh Chani, and Sukhjinder Singh Tumbarbhan launched scathing attacks on the policies of the Modi-led Central Government and the Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab Government.
