AGARTALA, Nov 1 (TIWN): Tripura State Govt employees ill fate remained standstill with no sign of ‘Better days’ is there even-after waiting for long 23 years, Tripura govt again declared not to implement pay-commission in state due to fund crisis. In a recent development it has been known that whereas all the Northeastern states are implementing 7th Pay Commission, Left-ruled Tripura & Congress-ruled Mizoram have delayed the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) recommendations for their employees. Chief Minister Manik Sarkar already said that as Tripura is a Northeastern state, so it's not possible for the govt to implement 7th pay commission. But Central Govt paying the full salary to Tripura Govt employees, but Manik Sarkar giving half of it, saying the half money the govt. is using for other welfares, what surprises is that whereas RMSA 150 working staffs lost their jobs, but Tripura govt could not ensure their jobs with that hefty money.

For the first time Tripura govt. in 2008 implemented Pay Review commission, whereas the employees were expecting the Pay-Commission’s implementation. But in the name of Pay review till day govt. employees have been deprived in Tripura. 

It took 9 years for grade pay’s introduction in Tripura. Out of 20 PSO for pensioners, Tripura has only 6 out of them which are given to a selective section of employees.

"The central Govt allocation is very much transparent, then why the state govt is not paying ?"..  was asked by Tripura opposition MLA Sudip Barman recently.

 The allocated budget is going from salary head to non-salary head and sometimes surrendered. Whereas Central Govt employees will further benefited with 7^thPay Commission, but the state govt is keeping the employees under clouds and nothing is clearly told to the employees.

 From the same market items are purchasing by both the central govt employees and state govt employees where the central govt employees are leading a luxurious life, but the state govt employees’ agonies have no end here. 

It’s worthy to mention here that recently Bhanulal Saha has given his interview in national media, where it was much evident that Tripura govt can not implement pay commission due to fund crisis.

As a result hopes of the employees has went to dustbin and unless & until CPI-M era ends in Tripura, tyranny on Govt employees would never end.
