August 6 and 7 were days of Dharnaas and strikes by employees of PSO Banks and College Lecturers raising their various demands. While the strike by the banks affected public dealings with the banks as well as business & merchandise operations. The college teachers strike was a kind of surprise for students who have come over to attend classes from different areas, seeing the teachers in role reversal, as students are notoriously famous for abstaining from classes, these two days it was the teachers who shunned delivering lectures. The Haryana Govt. College Teachers Association is pressing for revised scales. Faculties of CMK Girls College Sirsa, Govt National College Sirsa, and the faculty members of teaching Department of CDLU staged sit-ins at their college premises for two consecutive days by taking mass casual leave.

Else where in Haryana lecturers went on a day's mass casual leave in protest against the delay in the implementation of the revised UGC pay scales by the state government.

They staged dharnas in front of their colleges to express their anger against the ''inordinate delay'' in the implementation of the revised pay scales.
