AGARTALA, Oct 20 (TIWN): Tripura Finance Dept on 27th Sep had announced that along with various contractual employees, pensioners and even family pensioners will get Rs. 1,000 as puja grant.

But even though Laxmi puja has gone, no pensioner has received the amount.

This has erupted resentment among the pensioners. At the same time, Asha workers who were promised to give Rs. 2,000 advances have not received the amount yet.

The employees body stated on Tuesday that instead of giving 7th Pay Commission or Scale, the Govt has fully deprived the employees, specially the teachers but in propaganda it is claiming just the opposite. But by doing so, it only erupted resentment and mockeries over baseless claims.

Addressing the media in a press conference, Tripura Rajya Karmachari Committee said, “By only increasing 0.32 the Govt tried to impress the employees. Moreover, all employees did not get any hike.  DAs are highly pending.There is no hope among the contractual employees for regularization under lower divisions like DRW like posts. So before the Govt propagates employee benefits, it must think twice. The CM is also delivering factually fabricated statements over pay scales”.
