Imphal, June 06 2018:
Demanding implementation of 7th Pay in the State for the Government employees and pensioners, Manipur Electricity Employees Union (MEEU) staged a sit in protest in front of Keishampat Power House gate today.
Speaking to media persons, general secretary of MEEU, Tensubam Lamphel Meitei said that with the ever increasing prices of goods and commodities, the employees are finding it difficult to manage with the current pay.
7th Pay was already implemented for Central Government employees in January 2016 but the same is still pending for State Government employees.
He demanded the State Government to implement 7th Pay in the State at the earliest and added that if the Government fails to do so, the whole State may begin facing constant power outage.
