GHADC employees strike for 34 months due

Tura, Aug 19: Work has once again come to a standstill in the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council with hundreds of employees beginning a week-long strike demanding authorities release 34 months of their pending salaries.

The employees, part of the Non-Gazetted Employees Association (NGEA) pitched camp at the Tura Government College field on Monday morning preparing to sit it out for the entire working week.

The employees, particularly the lower rung staff, have been eking out a living borrowing and taking on credit food bills to run their households as successive Executive Committees (ECs) fail to obtain the much required funding to clear salaries of almost three years.

To make matters worse, the district council staff is yet to get a hike in salary under the 5th pay commission. They are demanding that their dues ought to be paid under the new pay scale.
