A security officer attached to the “Pehekam Sippiyasa” of the Central Province Textile Department started a protest on a tree top yesterday stating he was deprived of his job.
He said he would not come down until the authorities absorb him into the permanent cadre. He has been serving as a security officer for about one and half years, but the authorities had informed him that he could not be absorbed into the permanent cadre as he does not have required educational qualifications.
Protesting individual M, Gunabanda complained that the loss of his job made him miserable as he could not provide for his three children.
