SHILLONG: The employees of Food Corporation of India (FCI) will go on hunger strike en masse on Tuesday as part of a nationwide protest over wage revision.
The Bhartiya Khadya Nigam Karmachari Sangh (BKNKS) has said employees will go on strike before all district, zonal and regional offices and FCI headquarters.
In the city, the strike will be at the FCI regional office at Mawlai Mawroh.
