MCD EMPLOYEES TO PROTEST FOR RELEASE OF ARREARS

To demand the release of the first instalment of 40 per cent arrears of the Sixth Pay Commission, the Sanitation Employees’ Welfare Association of Environment Management Services Department of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi has decided to stage a demonstration at Town Hall here on August 28.

The Association general secretary K. K. Lohat said: “The Bharatiya Janata Party which is in power took the credit for implementing the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission but till date the first instalment of 40 per cent of the arrear has not been released to the employees except for Class IV employees. This instalment was to be released in the last financial year and the undue delay has compelled municipal employees to stage a demonstration to demand release of the arrears.”

“Employees of other MCD departments will also support the demonstration. For the purpose, intimation has already been given to Municipal Commissioner K. S. Mehra , Mayor Kanwar Sain, Leader of the House Subhash Arya, Leader of the Opposition J. K. Sharma and all other agencies concerned,” he added.

Mr. Lohat demanded that the first instalment of 40 per cent of arrear be released at the earliest before Dussehera and Id festivals.
