Members of State Gram Panchayat Employees Association’s district committee will place their demands before the government during ‘Maruti Manpade Nudi Namana’, the fourth district convention, at Maruti Manpade Auditorium, in Siddapura, in Virajpet taluk, on April 24, said Samiti district president P R Bharat.

Speaking to reporters in Madikeri on Friday, he said that the Gram Panchayat workers who have worked as corona warriors have been neglected by the government.

He further said that the labour officer and executive officers of Virajpet and Somwarpet Taluk Panchayats will take part in the formal programme of the district convention to be inaugurated at 10.30 am.
