27 dismissed, yet still not returning to work: What will happen by signing a document; why is the government taking such a strict stance?

In Madhya Pradesh, the Swamitva scheme's 50 lakh free registrations are facing a signature issue. 24,000 patwaris are on strike. Chief Secretary Ashok Barnwal claims that the government has accepted the patwaris' demands. However, the patwaris are still not returning to work. So far, action has been taken against a total of 102 patwaris. What is it that, despite the dismissals, the patwaris' protests are not ending, and why is the government unable to alleviate their fear?
