The central government officials staged a protest outside North Block in Delhi for the following reasons:

• They were demanding the implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission report, which recommended a hike in their salaries and allowances.
• The officials claimed that the government had failed to implement the pay commission's recommendations despite assurances.
• They held placards and shouted slogans against the government, demanding immediate action.
• The protest caused major traffic disruptions in the area, leading to chaos and inconvenience for commuters.
• The government officials threatened to intensify their agitation if their demands were not met soon.
• Reports suggest that similar protests have taken place in other parts of the country as well.

The government is yet to respond to the officials' demands, but the protest has brought attention to the issue of pay hikes and better working conditions for government employees.
