Imphal, January 12 2015:
Retired Headmasters/Headmistresses of Government schools numbering 1217 have decided to launch hunger strike from February 1 in case their pending pensions for 21 months are not paid by January 31 .
On behalf of the fellow retired Headmasters/Headmistresses, Moirangthem Irabot has submitted a representation to the Chief Minister in this regard.
According to the representation, monthly pensions for April 2005 to December 2006 were held back and the retired Headmasters/Headmistresses were paid substantive pay which was smaller and entitled to Second Masters.
The pending pension for 21 months should be paid together with TA/DA by January 31 else the retired Headmasters/Headmistresses would be compelled to launch hunger strike from the next day.
Moirangthem Irabot further appealed to all concerned to come to the North Western gate of the Chief Minister's bungalow on February 1 .
