Ministerial employees at the DC office here today sent a demand letter to the Chief Minister and state Finance Minister through ADC General, Amritsar, Surinder Singh to fulfil their rightful and legitimate demands.
The district unit of Punjab State Ministerial Services Union led by district president Manjinder Singh Sandhu and general secretary Jagdish Thakur submitted the memorandum.
The ADC General sent a demand letter to the government and recommended to fulfil their demands.
The union leaders urged Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema to fulfil the demands of the ministerial cadre immediately. They demanded to amend the report of the Sixth Pay Commission and add 125 per cent DA and give 20 per cent benefit on last basic salary received on December 31, 2015.
