Maharashtra government employees begin indefinite strike over pension notification

About 1.7 million Maharashtra government employees began an indefinite strike, citing unaddressed demands including the issuance of a revised pension scheme notification. The government has stated it will treat the strike as misconduct and enforce a 'No Work, No Pay' policy. Employee organisations had issued a strike notice earlier, citing the lack of an official notification for the revised pension scheme implemented in 2024. Retired employees are not receiving retirement benefits due to this issue.
