Ahmedabad, 20/9: With the Assembly election just month away, the Bhupendra Patel-led Bharatiya Janata Party government was reeling under the frequent protests by government employees—from police constabulary and teachers to Anganwadi and health workers. The latest protesters to join this list was forest department staff. On Monday, at least 2,000 forest guards and foresters assembled in the state capital Gandhinagar, demanding an increase in their grade pay and other allowances.
