Imphal, January 31 2018:
Peeved at the failure on the part of the concerned authority to issue MGEL list for them despite joining the service a year back, All Manipur Newly Appointed Association 2016 PWD locked the office of PWD today.
The enraged employees who are yet to get salary for months also staged a sit-in-protest in front of the office.
Speaking to newspersons, Y Chandrasekhar, vice-president of the association said that the employees were made to join the service in 2017 though they were recruited in 2016 .
He said that many of the employees are married and are looking after their families.
He warned of launching various democratic forms of agitation in unison with civil society organisations if the Government fails to give a positive response to their demands at the earliest.
