Sixth Pay Commission: Govt removes Bajaj as wage committee chairman

Govt removes Bajaj as wage committee chairman

LUCKNOW: The government in a decision taken here on Friday removed JL Bajaj, who was appointed chairman of the wage committee to review recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission, and in his place appointed SAT Rizvi, a retired IAS officer.

It may be mentioned, UP Adhikaari Mahasangh , an apex organisation of state cadre officers, at its meeting held here recently had expressed strong resentment over the government's decision to appoint Bajaj, a retired IAS officer as chairman of the wage committee .
Besides Mahasangh, even UP Engineers' Association had raised objection over Bajaj's appointment alleging that being chairman of the review committee of the Fifth Pay Commission , Bajajhad not done justice to the officers recommending abolition of several allowances recommended by the Fifth Pay Commission and had even recommended the abolition of time-bound pay scale being given to the officers.

Meanwhile, general secretary of State Employees' Joint Council (SEJC) Ramji Awasthi has hailed CM Mayawati's decision to remove Bajaj and in his place appointing Rizvi as chairman of the committee.
He has urged the CM to direct the new chairman of the committee to present the report within three months so that no delay was caused in implementing the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission.
