After the government deactivated the development committees, the employees working there have been on strike for 121 days. The employees protested saying that the government had done injustice to the concerned communities by deactivating the development committees and forced them to retire empty-handed after serving for a long time.

For a long time, the government has not appointed officials in the neglected, oppressed and Dalit class upliftment development committee, backward community upliftment development committee and plaintiff community upliftment development committee, which were formed for the upliftment of Dalit and oppressed communities.

The offices of those committees are not functioning and the employees have become jobless. The government forced the retirement of the employees who have been serving there for a long time on contract in the middle of last June. Due to which 27 employees working in the three development committees sometimes reach Koteshwar and sometimes Maitighar and stage a sit-in. Gopal Prakash Sunar, the coordinator of the staff struggle committee, said that they should appoint officials in the development committee and create an environment for them to work. He said that he has served in the development committee for almost two decades of his life, but the government has now stalled. 

employees are staging a sit-in with a five-point demand. Their demands include that the report submitted by the National Inclusion Commission to the Ministry regarding the list of backward class surnames should be passed and implemented by the Council of Ministers, that reserved seats should be implemented in government and private sector jobs in the state according to the constitution, and that the employees who have been working continuously for 2 decades in all the three development committees should be reinstated and a working environment should be created.

The employees working in the Development Committee were forced to pay their salaries together in the middle of June 081 and hand over their leave papers. But coordinator Sunar said that he did not get any benefits except salary when he retired.
