CCpur, September 20 2019:
The Churachandpur and Pherzawl District Education Employees Union have today announced a plan to hold peace rally here on Tuesday to protest the Govt apathy in the Revision of Pay under the new pay commission.
The union while alleging that their pay scale was downgraded rather than raising them, condemned that the Govt action was nothing but an attempt to take them backward instead of taking them forward.
Addressing reporters, the union Secretary Nehkhohao Haokip said that the union will stand by demands of Council of Teachers Association, and rally was planned to show their support.
Pledging to fight the cause which he said was just, Haokip lamented the Govt for inviting agitation during every RoP instead of taking steps to avoid them.
"We understand the Govt's position on financial matters.
When we are prepared to accept even a reasonable rise on the scale, the situation today is totally opposite as the scales were rather downgraded.
The very essence of RoP has been invalidated for employees of education department, and we are prepared to fight for what is due to us", he added.
