Expedite completion of 7th Pay Commission: NMC

JAMMU: National Mazdoor Conference ( NMC) today urged the Chairman of 7th Pay Commission to expedite completion of its proposals and recommend the report to Jammu and Kashmir government as well.

"We urge upon the Chairman of 7th Pay Commission to expedite completion of recommendations and get it finalised by the stipulated time so that there is no delay in its implementation in favour of both Centre and state government employees and pensioners," NMC President Subash Shastri said.

In a memorandum sent to Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur (retd.), Chairman of the 7th Pay Commission, Shastri appealed to recommend its report to state government as well, "So that the gap arising out of implementation of the 7th Pay Commission recommendations does not mainly go against the interest of state government employees and pensioners."

He also said that keeping in view the rising cost of living, the Pay Commission should effectively formulate strategies to deal with inflation.
