They said though the Government has changed the basic qualification and service rules of Clerical cadre from time to time but the grade of Junior Assistant is still at 3050-4910 despite the fact that they posess higher education, technical qualifications and facing hard working conditions and responsibilities.
The speakers appealed the Chief Minister and Finance Minister to intervene personally to remove pay anomalies of clerical cadre besides fulfilling other demands like release of pending 10% DA installment in cash and enhancement of medical allowance from Rs 300 to Rs 1000.
