Addressing the protesting VRS employees, president, VRS Union, Dev Raj Bali and general secretary, Surinder Singh, strongly criticized the attitude of SRTC Department and higher authorities of Transport Department towards VRS and GHS employees of State SRTC.
“Our own department is doing injustice with us, as on one hand our services have gone and on the other hand our dues, which were promised to be cleared within 60 days from the date of VRS and GHS, are still pending”, said Dev Raj Bali.
They alleged that their (VRS and GHS employees’) case for pending dues like COLA arrears, leave salary, gratuity, ex-gratia grant and pending bills was misrepresented before the Finance Department due to which the bills amounting to Rs 30,16,10, 673 have been lying for last three years in the Finance Department, adding this huge amount lying with the Finance Department deserves compound interest @ 12% per annum.
Other present in the demonstration were Kulbir Singh, J D Singh, B V Sharma, Prem Nath. Ehsan Elahi, Surjit Singh, Surinder Singh and Sain Mohd.
