Lawyers who were on strike since last week demanding better remuneration and housing facilities, tonight called off their agitation.

The strike was called off after a meeting between government officials, Bar Council of India members and representatives of agitating lawyers as an understanding was reached on their 5-point charter of demands.

Government spokesperson said all the lawyers in the city will return to work from tomorrow.

The lawyers have been on strike since March 6 demanding better remuneration, cheaper accommodation among other demands.

Violent protests had erupted after the agitating lawyers were baton charged by police when they tried to march towards Rajasthan Assembly.
