COMMENTS

  • R/Sir
    while preparing the 7th CPC report itself the Honorable justice sri A.k.Mathur has created a great mistake by doing injustice to the CG Employees and pensioners and submitted the report in favour of the central govt. As a matter of fact it is a privilege of employees and pensionersa and their rights to put their demands at any cost the govt. is not suppose to curtail it.
    The govt. asked 4 months time to have a proper decision by a high level committee but even after passing 8 months unable to keep up their promise
    at least the high level committee would have paid compliments to the assurance made by the h'ble Home minister sri Rajnath sighji with NFIR and
    JCM, BPS etc. I feel that it is better on the part of Cent.Govt. to fulfill the demands of CG Employees and pensioners in connection with fitment fsrmula, minimum wage allowances,FMA, Additional pension from 60,65,70,and 75 years etc,etc. as early as possible to avoid indefinite strike by the varios trade unions and association.
