The demonstration was organized under the Joint Action Committee of Chandigarh administration and MC Employees, and aimed to address the long-standing issue of daily wage workers not receiving the benefits of the sixth pay scale. The Joint Action Committee, representing the aggrieved employees, handed over a demand letter to SDM Sanyam Garg, who assured them that their concerns would be forwarded to UT Administrator Banwari Lal Purohit. The employees expressed their hope that their demands would be addressed in a timely manner. In a bid to garner attention and raise awareness about their cause, UT employees assembled near the Shivalik View Hotel, sector 17, where they resorted to banging plates and loudly vocalizing their grievances. They stood along the roadside, expressing their dissatisfaction with the Administration and the Municipal Corporation (MC).
