They also reiterated the demands for implementation of 7th Pay Commission’s report in the State, enhancement of monthly medical allowance of State employees and pensioners from existing paltry rate of Rs 300 to at least Rs 1000, regularization of adhoc/contractual teachers on completion of 7 years of service, etc.
