We are not against the SIR programme, but employees must have fixed working hours. They were being made to work beyond reasonable limits and were under immense pressure to complete field visits. Too much responsibility was placed on a single employee, and this is affecting everyone in the department," he said.Recalling the family's plans for her future, Ramesh said Bhuvana's marriage was planned and relatives had recently begun searching for a suitable alliance."We had great hopes of finding her a good family and getting her married. Instead, we are left grieving this tragic loss," he said.Revenue department employees said they would intensify their agitation if appropriate action was not taken against those found responsible for allegedly subjecting staff to excessive work pressure during the SIR exercise.
