Around 1.26 lakh government gazetted officers will launch a two-stage agitation next week to press for their demands including stern action against those who target officers while discharging their duty.
"The officers across the state will put on black ribbons on September 20, 21 and 22. On September 22, they will also resort to 'pen down' strike despite sporting black ribbons," said 'Maharashtra Rajya Rajpatrit Adhikari Mahasangh' general secretary Samir Bhatkar.
He alleged that several instances of attack on officers had taken places since 2011.
