Over 300-350 government employees took out 'Sampark' march here in a bid to unite all the trade unions and federations and constitute a state-level forum to raise their demands.

The demands include regularisation of daily wagers, enhancement of retirement age to 60 years and removal of pay anomalies in all cadres, among others.
