KARIMGANJ, Aug 13: The Central Pay Scale Demand committee of Karimganj is of the opinion that the State Government should declare the sixth Central Pay structure with all other allowances for the teachers and employees serving under the government of Asom.
This district-level demand committee for central pay scales for the State Government teachers and employees was formed on July 19 in a meeting held at the Karimganj Government HS School by the representatives of all sections of the teachers and employees of the district of Karimganj.
The committee has decided to meet in an extended meeting on August 16 at Karimganj Law College to decide its future course of action in respect of their demand for central pay.
Biswanath Majumdar, joint convenor of the demand committee, while talking to this correspondent said that they demanded implementation of sixth central pay structure for the State Government employees and teachers.
It may be mentioned that when the government of Asom had accepted the fifth Pay Commission of the State in the year 1998, the employees’ associations demanded central pay scales.
But, though about 20 States including Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh Jammu and Kashmir, Orrisa, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra Jharkhand and Himachal Pradesh had accepted and implemented the Central pay scale, Assam Government did not accept it.
Those 20 states have accepted the sixth Central pay structure too but Assam Government wants to apply the formula for Central Government pay fixation only keeping basic pay scale of the State in the name of enhancement of salaries for State Government employees at the rate of Central government employees.
The State Government employees demanded pay and allowances at par with the Central Government employees.
It may be mentioned that similar demand committees have also been formed in Cachar and Hailakandi district. Other districts of the State are also likely to form such demand committees soon. THE SENTINEL
