Addressing a rally of NMC workers at village New Plot Salehar near border town Arnia, Shastri said that the State Government should take decision in this regard before the enforcement of model code of conduct in view of forth coming Lok Sabha election.
Pleading the cause of employees and pensioners, Shastri also demanded enhancement of medical allowance to Rs 1000 per month beside immediate release of 3rd installment of 6th Pay Commission arrears as rising prices of all essential commodities had made the life of salaried class and pensioners very miserable.
