MUMBAI: Protesting against the authorities for not convening a panel dealing on promotions, a group of engineers of All India Radio and Doordarshan went on an indefinite strike from 12 July as reported by PTI.
Members of the AIR and Doordarshan Engineers’ Association (AIRDEA), an organisation of media engineering officers, staged the protest in front of the office of AIR Director General at Akashwani Bhavan.
“We began our indefinite dharna today. We have not got our due promotions. The Department Promotion Committees have not met. We are demanding immediate convening of the committees,” AIRDEA general secretary P N Bhakta said.
The AIRDEA claims to have around 1,500 members.
