Bangalore, March 22: Employees of Regional Passport Office (RPO) here today went on a flash strike as part of their nationwide stir to press for demands including a centralised software for issuing passports and time-bound promotions.
The one-day stir triggered off protests from public who had queued up before the Regional Passport Office at Koramangala and the Passport Service Centre located near Lal Bagh in the city.
The RPO employees had a tough time explaining the reasons for their strike to people who had gathered in front of their offices since early morning.
The strikers were protesting against the govt-private partnership at RPOs which the employees claimed had “jeopardised their job security”.
