AGARTALA, July 3 (TIWN): EPF Pensioners Association led by TRTC employees today once again have demanded equal salaries like the other state govt employees.

However, in CPI-M era, their demands were declined by state govt even at the cost of violating High Court's order. Now after the govt has been changed in Tripura, now the pensioners have placed their demand list before the Chairman Alik Majumder. 

"We are demanding for equal payments like state govt employees for TRTC employees and other PSU's employees but unfortunately in CPI-M regime, we were never paid like state govt employees. Now the new govt is our only hope", said the pensioners. .

Their four continuous demands which have been placed before Transport Dept Chairman are  :
