Imphal, February 05 2019:
Continuing its demand for immediate release of salaries for muster roll and work charged employees as well as demanding regularisation of the posts, All Manipur (IFCD) Water Resources Department, Manipur Employees & Workers Organisation organised a sit in protest at PWD complex, Khoyathong today.
The protest has been going on from January 28 except for a few days halt owing to State issue.
Speaking to media persons, member of the organisation T Doren appealed the authority concerned to release the 12 months pending salaries for muster roll and work charged employees.
He demanded the authorities concerned to regularise these employees, who have been working for almost 30 years and further appealed the Department concerned to refrain from taking in new recruits before regularising the posts.
Informing that the organisation will discuss the matter with the Department concerned on February 8, he asserted that the more stringent agitations will be launched if both parties fail to come to a negotiation.
There are 1080 muster roll and 40 work charged employees.
