Ministerial employees in Raj protest against pay anomalies

Ministerial employees of the state government today boycotted work demanding removal of pay anomalies.
The employees under the banner of Rajasthan State Ministerial Employee Sangarsh Samiti went on a one-day mass leave and staged a sit-in behind the secretariat building here.
"The government is not addressing our issue despite repeated reminders. If the situation continues, we will hold relay sit-in from May 9," samiti spokesperson Ramesh Sharma said here.
A state-level meeting of the samiti has been called on May 16 in Nagaur to decided the future course of action, he said.
He claimed around 64,000 employees went on mass leave across the state and staged protests outside district collectorates.

The employees are demanding revision of the pay band, third promotion of employees as gazetted officers and review of their cadre.
