Imagine the tax collectors are unhappy!
They're not happy with their bosses, the CBDT.

So, they're going on strike!

The tax collectors have a lot of worries like transfers, promotions, and new computers.
They are unhappy because of the way the bosses have handled these issues.
This is why they are protesting.
They hope the bosses will finally listen to their concerns and make things better.
