Agartala, Jan 29 : Confronted by a near revolt within the employees’ front and general resentment among all sections of employees, the Left Front government in Tripura is in a dilemma over acceptance of the
recommendations of the two-member pay review committee headed by principal secretary A.K. Mangotra.
The committee had submitted its recommendations on November 15, and immediately faced criticism from the employees’ front owing allegiance to both the ruling CPM and the Opposition Congress.
Facing all-round discontent, the state cabinet had asked chief secretary V. Shashi Prakash to take stock of the situation. His report on the recommendations and suggestions on changes had been submitted yesterday but the cabinet meeting held today failed to arrive at a decision over the issue. Official sources said serious differences among ministers have arisen over raising the retirement age up to 60 and fixing the formula based on the merger of dearness allowance.
The matter is likely to be taken up for a fresh look at the next meeting slated for February 3, sources said.
