Sir,
Apropos to “Seventh Pay Commission Implementation” DE, Feb 3, 2017 it is expected that realizing the financial difficulties being faced by the Government employees and pensioners, the Jammu and Kashmir Government might be woring out to implement employees and pensioners, the Jammu and Kashmir Government might be working out to implement seventh pay commssion in April, 2018 giving effect from January, 2016 conceding genuine demand for enhancing medical allowance from Rs 300 to Rs 3000 per month in view of high rise in pices of commodities, school fees, medicines and doctor’s consulting fees. Till said pay commission is implemented, it is also expected that announced 20 percent interim relief be accorded sanction instantly to compensate the high rise in prices might also have been worked out.
It is felt pertinent to bring into the notice of the Government here that in the absence of big industries of national and international concerns, the main source of employment for the inhabitants of the J&K State is the Government job. Almost every family has its one member and in some cases even more members in Government service. And, obviously, when the Government employee is in hardship suffering financially, the entire family becomes unhappy and waits for coming elections to uproot the Government. The previous coalition Government paid for not releasing DA to its employees.
Jammu & Kashmir Government is urged upon not to go for inviting displeasure of the employee and pensioners who constitute almost entire population of the State and act immediately to implement the Pay Commission enhancing medical allowance from Rs 300 to Rs 3000 or pay 20 percent interim relief to compensate high rise in prices till its Commission’s implementation.
Yours etc…
