Chennai, May 25 (UNI) The joint front of employees comprising BKNK Sangh, Food Corporation of India (FCI) executive staff union, FCI officers' association and Labour unions observed a one-day pen down stir today.

They were protesting against the authorities not taking effective steps to secure the release of Dr P C Ram, Executive Officer (Northeast zone), who was kidnapped by extremists in Guwahati on April 17 this year.

The agitation by the joint front of employees had crippled operations of the FCI units in Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
