AGARTALA, Oct 18 (TIWN): Tripura State Govt employees fates have remained in garbage as even-after waiting for long 23 year, Tripura govt again declared “not to” implement pay-commission in state due to fund crisis. In a recent development it has been known that whereas all the Northeastern states are implementing 7th Pay Commission, Left-ruled Tripura & Congress-ruled Mizoram have delayed the 7th Central Pay Commission’s recommendations for their employees. Central Govt is allocating the full salary for each & every Tripura Govt employees, but Manik Sarkar giving half of it, looting the rest of the money saying that the money is using for other citizens’ welfares, whereas RMSA working staffs lost their jobs but Tripura govt could not ensure their jobs with that hefty money. The whole Northeast, other parts of India are enjoying the full salary but there is no relief for the Tripura state govt employees from their everyday crisis due to the poor pay scale, less DA with much gaps with the Central Pay scales.Even after High court orders to clear 31% DA to the state government employees, Tripura government once again in the cabinet meeting deprived its employees by giving only mere 4% DA.

 It is to be mentioned here that Tripura High Court has ordered the state govt. to pay 31 % DA unless the govt. here doesn’t take any proper DA system and Pay Commissions implement. High Court Judge Subhashish Talapatra in a divisional bench announced it. Court has ordered to give the 31 % DA since 1/1/2009 to 27/8/2011, in 3 installments. So the first instalment will be started from 1/7/2016. By increasing 4 per cent DA for the pensioners and state government employees the difference between the state and central employees still remained at 42%.

 “Claiming state government’s financial crunch, it has released additional 5% of DA for the employees and pensioners,” State Finance Minister said after a cabinet meeting chaired by Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar.

All Northeastern States pay DA to the State Govt employees and the DA percentage between the state and the central govts are almost similar but the difference is less except communist run Tripura.

According to Tripura Govt to i implement the 7th CPC recommendations for Tripura government employees, the state government requires additional amount of at least Rs 2,500 crore annually and also claimed Tripura is undergoing loss about 1,100 crores per FYs.

But whereas other NE states are paying full salary to the Govt employees, Tripura Finance Dept is only crying over funds, this is nothing but a shame to the Golden Era led by Manik Sarkar.
