Imphal, July 12 2018:
Staff of Veterinary Department staged a sit in protest at the Department's campus at Sanjenthong yesterday, in support of the demand by JAC of All Manipur Trade Unions' Council (AMTUC) and All Manipur Government Employees' Organisation (AMGEO) to implement 7th Pay in the State for the State Government employees and pensioners.
Speaking to media persons, the Department's UDC, Zamal Uddin Khan said that the JAC's protest has completed 112 days yet the State Govt has not taken up any "positive actions till date.
If the Govt is not planning to heed the demand of the JAC, then it is akin to looting and making a fool of the people, he alleged.
He also appealed to the State Government to implement 7th Pay at the earliest looking after the plight of the employees.
