Amritsar, October 24
The ministerial staff employees staged a protest and burnt the effigy of the state government in protest against the non-payment of arrears of dearness allowance announced by sixth pay commission. The employees said government had no funds to pay to the employees but it always had plans to buy cars,, helicopters for its ministers.
Association general secretary Jagdish Thakur said 30 per cent of the arrears of the dues were still pending. He said the installments were due since January this year. He further said the employees were expecting that the government would release the due before Diwali.
“The government has imposed a number of new taxes on public and we fail to understand why it does not have funds for paying to the employees,” said Thakur.
Association leader Tajinder Singh said the employees were agitated because of the attitude of the government against their needs. “We have a meeting on October 26. The association leaders would discuss measures to intensify protest on the issue,” he said. — TNS
