Agartala, November 24 —
The Tripura State Government Employees Union organised a major rally in Agartala today, beginning from the Fire Service Office premises and marching through several routes across the city before concluding at the State Conference venue. The rally witnessed strong participation from employees across multiple departments, all voicing a unified call for long-pending demands to be addressed by the state government.
During the march, union members raised slogans pressing for the full implementation of the 7th Pay Commission, immediate payment of 22% Dearness Allowance (DA) arrears, and the regularisation of ad-hoc promotions. They emphasised the need to regularise all irregular and fixed-pay employees, citing job insecurity and inequality.
Key demands highlighted in the rally included:
- Full implementation of the 7th Pay Commission.
- Immediate release of 22% pending DA.
- Regularisation of ad-hoc promotions without delay.
- Regularisation of all irregular and contract-based employees.
- Formation of the 8th Pay Commission at the earliest.
- Raising the gratuity limit for state employees to ₹25 lakh, similar to central government staff.
- Implementation of the “One Nation, One Pay Structure” policy.
- Establishing a fair and transparent transfer policy.
- Immediate regularisation of fixed-pay employees.
Union leaders stated that continuous neglect of employee rights has forced them to intensify their agitation. They added that the rally marks the beginning of a larger movement if the administration does not respond promptly.
The march concluded peacefully as participants gathered at the state conference, reiterating their commitment to fight for fair wages, financial justice, and employment security for thousands of government workers in Tripura.
