DALGAON, Oct 2 The Orang National Park, on the north bank of the

Brahmaputra, has been hit by the ongoing strike of the muster roll

employees who run different functions at the Park.

 

More than forty muster roll employees reportedly left duty in the park

on September 27 last protesting disparity in appointment of Forest

Guards and Grade IV employees in State Forest department.

 

In a written statement, more than thirty muster roll employees,

alleged that due to the indifferent attitude of the State government

in protecting the wildlife of the State forest, 51 muster roll forest

workers performing duties under Mangaldoi Wildlife Forest Division

have been deprived their due. They also threatened to continue their

strike if the authority fails to appoint all the 50 odd muster roll

workers of Darrang district.
