Imphal, August 19 2021:
The Medical Department Employees Association (MDEA) has said that there is currently no resolution to support or join the cease work strike launched by the Manipur Government Service's Federation at present.
MDEA said this in a letter written to the Chief Secretary and added that if individual, association/organisation under the Department of Health Services join the cease work strike, MDEA is not related to them but it might be in their individual interest and not in favour of the MDEA.
The letter also added that the demand for 21% DA/DR to the employees, workers and pensioners of the Manipur Government is a reasonable demand as the DA/DR for the State Government has remained stuck at 7% since 2016 while the same for Central Government has been revised from time to time and now stands at 28% .
