He wanted the Collectors to ensure that the employees did not participate in the strikes called by unrecognized unions of teachers and government employees. He also said that the ‘no work, no pay’ norm would be enforced and the absence of the striking employees and teachers would be treated as unauthorized absence and no leave would be sanctioned for them other than for medical emergencies.
