Imphal, May 17 2015 :
Black day was observed by the Joint Administrative Council (JAC) of All Manipur Trade Union's Council (AMTUC) and All Manipur Government Employees' Organisation (AMGEO) at the premise of JAC, Babupara on Sunday.
The day was observed in remembrance of the mental harassment committed by the Government of Manipur on the members of the council for demanding full implementation of 6th Pay Commission recommendation in Manipur.
On this day in 2010, erstwhile members of the JAC were held hostage by the Government by sending its police personnel while the members were in a meeting to chalk out the future course of action after the failed negotiation between the government and the council.
The hostage crisis continued for 3 days.
L KuberMeetei, Secretary Publicity and Information, JAC of AMTUC & AMGO, Manipur said that National Executive Meeting of the All India State Government Employees Federation held at Nashik on May 11, 2012 had resolved to press Union Government for full implementation of 7th Pay Commission recommendations in all the States of India from January 1, 2016 .
