JAMMU, June 22: While stressing on the need to review the earlier decision of the State Government regarding disbursement of 7th Pay Commission arrears in one go to the age group of 80 years and above, National Mazdoor Conference (NMC) today appealed Governor N N Vohra to extend the same facilities to all pensioners irrespective of any specified age group.
“Since the State pensioners in majority have no source of income other than pension to pull on their day to day life, the extension of this relief to the pensioners would be a welcome step,” NMC president, Subhash Shastri said while addressing a well attended workers meet here.
Recalling the previous short stint of Governor rule during which historical decision like regularization of services of left over 3660 daily rated workers under SRO-64 and release of GP Fund in one go, were taken, Shastri hoped that redressal of pay anomalies of clerical staff, who are struggling since long, will also attract the attention of the Governor.
