The Sukhu government has given a big financial blow to thousands of government employees of Himachal Pradesh. According to the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission in 2022, the salary of employees was increased, which benefited millions of employees. But now the Sukhu government has withdrawn the notification of that rider and issued orders to fix the salary afresh. After this decision, there can be a cut of 10 to 20 thousand rupees in the salary of employees.
Why the decision was made
The government has said that the salary will be corrected under the new notification, so that the salary structure can be improved. However, no recovery will be done from employees who were earlier getting benefits. But 89 categories of employees will have to suffer losses from this decision.
Resentment among employees after verdict
There is resentment among the employees after this decision. The Secretariat Services Employees Organization has immediately demanded reconsideration of this decision. The organization has decided to meet the Chief Minister on Monday. The organization says that this step is not in the interest of the employees and this will have a big impact on the economic situation of government servants.
Himachal Pradesh Secretariat Services Employees Organization called an emergency meeting. It was decided in the meeting that on September 8, the representative of the organization will meet the Principal Secretary (Finance), Chief Secretary and Chief Minister and urge the government to withdraw the notification immediately. The organization says that any loss on the hard earned money of the employees is unacceptable.
Economic crisis will have to face
Employees say that the salary increase in 2022 was working as a relief for him. They can face financial crisis by withdrawing a sudden notification. The organization has appealed to the government to reconsider this decision keeping in mind the interest of the employees.
