Primary Agricultural Cooperative Societies and staff and workers in ration and fair price shops would go on an indefinite strike from February 15, demanding pension and other benefits.
The government constituted a committee to discuss provision of pension to employees in cooperative societies and in ration and fair price shops. But no action had been initiated so far to implement the pension scheme for them.
