He urged the employees, on strike for the past one week, to end their protest and return to work in the interest of the state, which was going through extremely tough times.

Even amid the prevailing crisis, the government was looking into their demands, Amarinder Singh assured the employees, who went on strike after the withdrawal of their mobile phone allowance.

The employees have not reported for work since then, seeking resolution of their pending issues, including restoration of the allowance.
