Submit pay commission report: NMC

Jammu, October 4

The National Mazdoor Conference (NMC) today urged the 7th Pay Commission chairman Justice Ashok Mathur (retired) to expedite submission of the report as the stipulated time frame had already expired on September 30.

NMC president Subash Shastri also urged the chairman to incorporate the provision of funds for implementing the recommendations of the Commission simultaneously in J&K along with other states in the report itself.

Justifying the demand for regularisation of daily-rated workers in one go, Shastri urged the Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and his Cabinet colleagues to adopt sympathetic and humanitarian approach to solve the sensitive issue.

He hoped that the government would settle the issue and announcement in this regards would be made during the ongoing session of the state Assembly. He expressed hope that the government would release pending dues of daily wagers before the ensuing festival season.

He also demanded early release of the 6 per cent dearness allowance. — TNS
