Imphal, February 19 2014:
Urging the State Government to release the due salaries for 310 Work Charge and 19 Mater Roll of Minor Irrigation Department as soon as possible and to discuss the issue of inclusion of the department's employees under the Revised Incentive in the coming Assembly Session, members of All Manipur Minor Irrigation Employees' Association staged a sit-in-protest demonstration in front of the office of the Department at Lamphelpat today.
Speaking to media persons on the sidelines of the protest, H Balesor, general secretary of the Association, pointed out that the employees have not received their salaries since April, 2013 along with arrear for 10 months and asserted that the protest might not be the right way to demand their salaries but the Association was compelled to do it so as the government has remained unresponsive to the demand.
