Dehradun, January 21

Central government employees took out a protest rally to the District magistrates’ office here today against the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission.

The rally started from Parade Ground. The protesters said the Seventh Pay Commission recomme-ndations had ignored the genuine concerns of the employees.

“A meager salary hike of 14.29 per cent will not serve the purpose when the prices of the essential commodities had touched an all-time high,” said one of the protesters.

Ugrasain Singh, Rajendra Singh Gusain, Anil Uniyal and Shashi Nautiyal took part in the protest.
