Sixth pay commission: Employees threaten stir

Srinagar, Jan 18: The Jammu and Kashmir Employees Joint Action Committee has threatened to go on agitation against the government if the administration did not implement the sixth pay commission recommendations immediately.
“We are ready for dialogue with the Joint Action Consultative Committee or any other committee formed by the government. But if the government did not keep its promise made with the employees’ leaders we would be left with no option but to start agitation against the administration,” convenor EJAC and JCC senior member, Muntazir Mohi-u-Din said in a statement today.
He said the EJAC leaders including Muhammad Khursheed Aalam, Farooq Ahmad Renzu, Abdul Qayoom Wani, Nazir Ahmad Mir and other senior leaders were in consultation with the governor N N Vohra over the implementation of sixth pay commission in the state.
“After consultation with the EJAC leaders, the governor had formed a committee to fix the modalities for implementation of the sixth pay commission. The committee has already given its report to the governor which was forwarded to the authorities for implementation.” he said, adding, “But despite the orders from the governor the sixth pay commission has not been implemented yet.”
He said the delay in the implementation of the sixth pay commission was causing problems for the employees.
“Since the announcement of the sixth pay commission in India, there is a sharp increase in all commodities. The employees are facing problems in meeting their day to day demands,” he said.
