Officers to go on mass leave today

PATNA, AUG. 23. All the 3,200 gazetted officers under the fold of the Bihar Administrative Service Association (BASA) will go on mass casual leave for seven days from tomorrow to press for their demands.

The BASA president, Mr. W. N. Singh told newsmen that the association decided on this as talks with the Chief Secretary, Mr. V. S. Dubey, did not make any headway today.

Mr. Singh threatened that if their demands were not met by August 30, the association would launch an indefinite strike from August 31. Their demands included revised pay scales and other allowances.
