no clear decision has been informed by the chief labour commissioner on behalf of the govt..what more can we expect from them…is there any hope that the two day strike could work its part?
The strike will take place

The working class continue their struggles for achieving results. Nothing comes out of the sympathy of the employer/government. Whatever we are enjoying today is due to the struggles and sacrifices of those earlier generations.
