PUNE: The Maharashtra State Rajpatrit Adhikari Mahasangh (MSRAM) held agitations across the state on Thursday to protest against the delay in implementation of the 6th pay commission in the state.
“The gazetted officers and employees from various departments participated in the agitation,” said Ravindra Dhongde, president of MSRAM.
“The state cabinet had assured us the benefits under the 6th pay commission due since January 2006. However, it has failed in taking any decision,” Dhongde said.
Adding that the government lacks the will to revise wages, Dhongde said, “in the current financial year, the government made an allocation of only Rs 7,000 against the revised wages. The MSRAM had submitted various proposals before the state for implementation of the 6th pay commission recommendations. However, the government has neither approached the organisation nor called a meeting on the matter.”
