Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh government has
constituted a high-level committee headed by chief secretary
to look into the demands and problems of employees, Chief
Minister Mayawati said on Sunday.
"To consider demands and problems of government
employees a high-level committed headed by the chief secretary
has been constituted, which will have principal secretaries of
personnel and finance and divisional commissioner Lucknow as
its members," Mayawati said in a statement issued here.
Welcoming the Karamchari Shikshak Sanyukt Morcha`s
decision to call off its strike, the chief minister said the
government was sensitive towards the feelings of employees and
was committed to resolving their problems.
The employees had yesterday called off their
indefinite strike to protest a police baton charge, after a
meeting with Additional Cabinet Secretary Vijay Shanker
Pandey.
"Despite having limited resources the state government
implemented the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission,
which created an additional burden of 21,000 crore on the
exchequre, only in the interest of the employees," Mayawati
said.
Mayawati asked the employees to consider the financial
resources of the state while raising their demands.
Apparently referring to the incident where the
District Magistrate Lucknow slapped an employee, Mayawati
said, "Officers should resolve a situation patiently."
