their demands.

For the whole day the clerks stayed away from their
official duties while in the afternoon they joined the rally of the clerks,
which was participated by the APCA leaders from all the tehsils of Rawalpindi.
Addressing the gathering of clerks the APCA leaders came down hard on Punjab
government for adopting delaying tactics in the promotion of clerks and said
that the pen-down strike would continue till the issuance of notification for
the up-gradation of the clerks.
They further demanded the revision of pay
scales of clerks, next pay scale of the employees working in Grade 4 and that
the slots of assistants announced recently by the Punjab govt to be filled from
within the department. They further demanded that the clerks who fulfilled the
criterion for these slots must be upgraded and no fresh recruitment on these
slots should be made.
These leaders also expressed concern over ban on
promotion of the clerks in Rawalpindi district and said that the promotions had
been made in rest of the districts in the province due to which the clerks in
Rawalpindi became junior to the clerks working in other districts. They demanded
immediate notification for promotion of clerks in the district so that their
grievance could be addressed. Later on the clerks dispersed peacefully with the
pledge that they would continue their struggle and go to any extend to achieve
their objectives. The nation
