Mizoram Pay Panel on Study Tour

 6th-pay-commission-reportAizawl, Feb 23 : The Mizoram Cabinet Committee on 6th Central Pay has set out on a tour to study how the pay recommendations have been implemented in other states.

The Cabinet team headed by Personal and Administrative Reforms Minister H Liansailova left Aizawl today to visit Punjab, Arunachal Pradesh and other states. The other members of the team include Ministers Lalsawta, Zodintluanga and parliamentary secretary Lal Thanzara.

The Congress ministry in Mizoram had decided to implement the Central Sixth Pay Commission's reports as per the state fitment committees recommendations which has met strong opposition from higher groups of government employees who wanted implementation of the same in total.

Under the aegis of Federation of Mizoram Government Employees and Workers(FMGE&W), about 200 government officials representing different service associations, had resented the implementation of the sixth pay reports as per the state Fitment Committee's recommendations.

''A recommendation (by the Fitment Committee) to downgrade the pay scale of some section of government services by two to three steps is a serious violation of the Fundamental Rights,'' the FMGE&W has said.

Whereas pay scales are generally hiked by 20-30 per cent in each central pay commission every ten years, the Fitment Committee has recommended pay revision in such a way that some services will have their monthly salaries decreased by some thousand rupees, the FMGE&W said.
