PSC rankers threaten indefinite fast from today

PSC rankers agitating for appointments said they would go on an indefinite fast from Tuesday despite reconciliatory talks with representatives of the government. The threat to ratchet up the 27-day-old agitation in front of the Secretariat was the fallout of the “failure” on the part of the government to seal its part of the pact with the agitators by promising in writing that it would extend the validity of the PSC rank list for appointment to the post of lower division clerk till August 1.
