Various organisations of Bengal government employees have announced a two-day pen-down on Monday and Tuesday.
The West Bengal government has issued an order saying its employees will face action if they go ahead with the pen-down or cease work agitation on February 20 and 21 demanding dearness allowance (DA) at par with central government employees.
The order was issued by finance secretary Manoj Pant on Saturday.
A bureaucrat said on condition of anonymity that people will lose their salary and their absence will be treated as a break in service. The employees will be issued show-cause notice and will face disciplinary action for failing to furnish any satisfactory explanation, the bureaucrat added.
The employees will not be granted leave on these two days unless they are hospitalised or there is a death in the family, which are treated as emergency situations.
Various organisations of state government employees and school and college teachers have been carrying out agitations since January on this issue.
