Imphal, July 08 2014:
Non-gazetted employees of IFCD Plan Section staged a sit-in-protest today in front of their office building at Khoyathong here to demand timely release of their salaries and other provision of basic facilities.
Speaking to newspersons on the sidelines of the protest, Longjam Samananda, one of the employees, said that employees of Plan Section of IFCD are yet to get their six months salaries while employees of Non-Plan Section of the same department have been receiving their salaries on regular basis.
This kind of discrimination is unacceptable.
He further informed that the Chief Engineer of the department had been already urged on the matter but no positive response has been given so far.
The aggrieved employees had already launched pen down strike from July 1, but the concerned authority of the Department has given a deaf ear to the demand.
Stating that employees of Plan Section of the department numbering around 552 have been left with no option as their demands have been sidelined despite repeated requests, Samananda made it clear thy will continue with the sit-in-protest stir in coming days until their long pending demands are fulfilled.
