Ready to implement 7th pay panel report, says CM ahead of staff stir

Government employees have forwarded three major demands — implementation of the 7th pay commission report, reverting to the Old Pension Scheme and implementation of at least 40 per cent of fitment facilities

Tuesday in Bengaluru, the Chief Minister of Karnataka, Basavaraj Bommai, stated that his government is prepared to implement the 7th Pay Commission Report.

The statement is made a day before government workers in Karnataka are scheduled to go on an indefinite strike over the implementation of the pay commission and other demands.

“Our senior officials are in contact with the government employees’ association and their president, and are holding talks. Bommai told reporters in Hubballi, “I have already made it explicit in the Assembly that we formed the seventh pay commission, which will be implemented in 2023-24 and for which funds have been allocated in the budget.”

The chief minister added that he has consented to the employees’ request for an interim report and its implementation.

“We are prepared to promptly direct the seventh pay commission to submit and implement the interim report,” he added.

With the exception of transport and critical care at hospitals and crematoriums, the disturbance is likely to impact the majority of services. The employees have submitted three main demands: the implementation of the 7th pay commission report, the return to the Old Pension Scheme, and the implementation of at least 40% of fitment facilities.

After the chief minister’s statement, the Karnataka State Government Employees’ Association has yet to issue a statement regarding the strike.

Previously, the president of the association, C S Shadakshari, stated that all services, including hospitals, other than emergency and essential services will be affected. Also, all services of Mahanagara Palike and Pura Sabha, including pourakarmika (civic workers) and energy supply companies, revenue collection, schools and pre-university examinations, will also be impacted, he said.

According to a statement issued by the association, the government employees have made significant contributions to the growth and development of the state, and they also worked tirelessly to end the Covid pandemic. During the Covid period, a number of government employees perished. The government employees sacrificed 4000 crore, or 18 months’ worth of DA, to enable the government to battle the pandemic aggressively, according to the statement.

In the meantime, on Tuesday, Jayaram Raipur, the chief minister’s secretary, addressed the protesting pourakarmikas and informed them that the file for making all pourakamrikas permanent is currently before the CM and that the file will be approved within two days and the procedure, including the issuance of a notification, will be completed within one to two weeks.
