The Left Front in Tripura confronts a major problem related to implementation of pay hikes to the 1.5 lakh employees of state government, PSUs and autonomous bodies before Lok Sabha elections.
The rules of pay prepared by the state government for the pay hikes was sent to the Election Commission in Delhi on March 30 by the state election department for clearance but the matter is still pending.
The Opposition Congress, however, has already made it a major issue in its election campaign. It is blaming the “lackadaisical” administration for the delay in implementing the hiked pay proposals.
Official sources said without the commission’s clearance increased salaries and allowance could not be paid to the employees.
“We are waiting for the commission’s clearance and we hope it will come early because it has already cleared the hike in pay and allowances for central PSU employees and those of West Bengal government employees,” a source in the state secretariat said.
