Imphal, July 08 2014:
Demanding early clearance of six months' due salary, Plan Section employees of Irrigation and Flood Control Department (IFCD) staged a sit-in-protest at PWD complex today.
Non Gazetted Employee of Irrigation and Flood Control Department Plan Section Convenor Samananda Longjam said that there are two sections of employees in IFCD as Plan Section and Non-Plan Section.
Though employees of Non-Plan Section are getting their salary regularly, Plan Section staff have not been getting their salary since past six months, he added.
Saying that they are clueless on why Plan Section employees are not given their salary, Samananda said that they had already staged a pen down strike as IFCD Chief Engineer had not heeded to their demand.
Maintaining that they were compelled to resort to the current cease work cum sit-in-protest stir Samananda cautioned that the employees would continue the stir till their demand is fulfilled.
