Kangpokpi, February 03 2015:
All Tribal Students' Union Manipur on Tuesday expressed dismay over the State Government's silence on post classification which the Union said was likely to "rob" all tribals of the opportunity of reservation in promotion.
ATSUM President Emboi Serto said that the union has already conveyed its opposition to the Government Order dated May 5, 2010 of Finance Department (Pay Implementation Cell) for classification of Post and also submitted a representation to the Government.
However, the state Government remained silent, alleged Emboi who also pointed out that if the Government go ahead with the Order, the tribals will not reap the benefit of reservation in promotion as they will be considered as Officer in Group A whereas they do not enjoy the facilities of being a Group A Officer.
It is extremely embarrassing that Subedars and Inspectors of the State Police with a pay band of Rs.4,400 are in Group A according to Government Order of Finance Department (Pay Implementation Cell) for classification of Post, said Emboi.
He added that CRPF Inspectors who are enjoying Rs.4,800 Pay Band are not in Group A but in Group B only.
ATSUM has once again appealed the State Government to consider the matter with seriousness and review the Order with an official Gazettes while avoiding any further steps which can hurt the sentiments of the tribals.
As cautioned earlier, there must be no further DPC for promotion until and unless this problem is resolved, warned Emboi.
He also said the Union was anticipating meaningful discussion with the Government on the issue.
