M RatanKumar, Assistant Agricultural Officer expressed disappointment over the current BJP led state government for failing to sort out any solution to implement the 7th pay commission in the state despite more than 150 state government run department has staged the protest sit-in for 49 days till date.
Almost all the states in North-East has implemented the 7th pay, whereas Manipur is the only remaining state where no sign of implementing the commission is not yet shadowed, which creates a baffling thoughts to the employees weather the commission will be implemented or not, he added.
RatanKumar mention that though there has been directives from the executive committee who assemble the election manifesto of BJP Manipur, which clearly mention that the 7th pay commission will be implemented once the party come into power in the state in the recent general election, to recommend the commission to the state government whereas those manifesto has been kept aside rather than fulfilling what they have promise to the employees.
With the soaring rates of all the daily needed products in the market and essentials items, the employees' appeals to implement the commission at the earliest as they are facing problems running their families with their current salaries.
