Employees working through Beltron in Patna staged a protest demanding recognition as state employees. Police intervened, leading to a brief disturbance.
Employees linked to the Beltron platform, which manages work for various government departments, gathered in Patna to demand that they be accorded the status of state employees. The protest began in the early hours of the day, with workers holding placards and chanting slogans demanding equal recognition and benefits.
The demonstrators occupied a central area near the administrative complex, drawing attention from local media and residents. They argued that their roles are integral to public service delivery and that state employee status would provide them with security and proper remuneration.
Police were called to the scene to maintain order. While attempting to disperse the crowd, officers used tear gas and batons, resulting in a brief clash. Several workers were detained for questioning, and a few police officers sustained minor injuries.
The government has yet to issue a formal response to the demands, and the situation remains tense as workers plan further actions to secure their status.
