JAMMU, July 1: President of the National Mazdoor Conference (NMC) Subash Shastri today impressed upon the State Government to make early arrangement for clearing the outstanding of employees, pensioners and other sections of the society pending in treasuries for months together.
Addressing a well attended meeting of NMC activists at Gandhi Nagar, Shastri said that it was surprising that payment of the bills and others dues of the employees, pensioners and others was not being made because of paucity of funds in the treasuries. He pointed out that even the payment of bills of GP funds, DA arrears are not been cleared so far although this amount is hard earned money of the salaried class and pensioners.
This situation speaks volumes about the non-functioning of the concerned department, Shastri said and hoped that the Chief Minister, Finance Minister and Chief Secretary will realize the difficulties of the salaried class/pensioners and take necessary immediate steps to redress the problem at the earliest.
Expressing his grave concern over the continuance of pay anomalies of clerical cadre of the State Government, Shastri also urged the Govt to immediately address most genuine demand of the affected employees.
Others who addressed the meeting, included Rajan Babu Khajuria, Sham Lal Sharma, Anil Singh Slathia, Sunil Kochhar, Rakesh Padha, Surinder Kumar, Ram Lal, Ram Pal Sharma, Barkat Ram, Girdhari Lal Bhagat, Vijay Kumar Bhagat, Jograj and Sukhdev Singh.
