Imphal, October 21 2011:
The All Manipur Art and Culture Department Casual and Contract Employees' Welfare Union has threatened to launch all kinds of agitation if the State Cabinet does not retract its decision of recruiting new posts in the department.
Speaking to media persons today, president of the Union, Th Phalguni said that there was a standing court order directing the Government not to recruit new posts in the department until and unless the existing casual and contract employees are regularised.
Despite the Court's directive to regularise 30 casual and contract employees who have been serving for around 30 years, the Government has been planning to recruit some new posts by side-stepping the Court order, Phalguni said.
If the Government tries to browbeat the contract and casual employees, it should bear full responsibility for all consequences resulting thereof, he cautioned.
