On the first day of the opening of Secretariat at Srinagar, over one hundred GEJAC members will sit on dharna- cum- fast as a mark of protest. Further course of action will also be announced by the Committee leadership on Monday.
These leaders said that Government has failed to release 6th Pay Commission arrears in two cash installments, to regularize all kind of daily wagers, contractual, consolidated and adhoc employees, remove pay anomalies and increase retirement age of the employees from 58 to 60 years. They warned the Government not to test the patience of the employees and honour its commitment made during agreement with employees’ leadership.
