Imphal, May 05 2010:
Intensifying their ongoing agitation over the demand for implementation of Central 6th Pay Commission in totality, Government employees have begun mass court arrest from today.
In response to the joint call of JAC of AMTUC and AMGEO, Manipur Secretariat Service Association and Council of Teachers' Association, around 1500 teachers/members of Council of Teachers' Association participated in the mass court arrest on the first day today.
The agitated teachers belong to Imphal West Zone-I.

Carrying placards inscribed with slogans like 'COTA wants to teach students not to strike', 'Arrest of employees over pay demand should be stopped', 'Resign Chief Minister if employees' pay could not be ensured', 'Chief Minister should not be lying', 'Implement 6th Pay in toto', etc, the agitating teachers started their mass court arrest from Khoyathong Junior High School.
As the agitators approached the PWD complex, police stopped and dispersed them.
Later talking to mediapersons, the agitating teachers reiterated that the demand for implementation of 6th Pay in totality is justifiable and so the mass court arrest would continue until the demand is considered.
Government employees in Manipur have been on cease work strike since January 16 last over the demand for implementation of 6th Pay in totality.
