Lucknow: Over 3.5 lakh lawyers across Uttar Pradesh held a strike on Monday demanding better work condition and security. While the striking lawyers would not attend court, they will hold meetings pressing for their demands.
They will highlight the killing of UP Bar Council president Darvesh Yadav in Agra last month.
According to the Uttar Pradesh Bar Council chief Hari Shankar Singh, lawyers from the Tehsil level to the High Court level will participate in the strike.
"We are demanding better working conditions and security for all lawyers. In cases where lawyers have been murdered, their families should be given adequate compensation by the government," he said.
