All workers should be paid their salaries by the 7th of every month. Even today, the wages of workers are pending in many districts; a seniority list of forest workers should be made. Along with this, the union is demanding compensation for the accident victims.

Union leaders said that the Forest Minister had given them time until July 20. But even after that, their demands were not met.
