Government finally bows to employee's pressure
Finally yielding to the pressure created by the state-wide employees’ strike, the government today announced the implementation of 6th Pay Commission recommendations from July this year.
This was announced by Minister for Finance Abdul Rahim Rather in a press conference here today after over four-hour long deliberations between five-member cabinet sub-committee and 30-member Joint Coordination Committee of Employees.
Following an agreement, the striking employees announced to defer the strike for one day. They announced that only after the approval of their demands by the cabinet in its meeting on Thursday, the strike would be called off.
Rather stated that July’s salary to be released in August would be hiked as per the recommendations of 6th Pay Commission.
