Dimapur, June 14 (EMN): Due to the failure and lackadaisical attitude of the Committee for Framing of District Ministerial Service Rules towards the District Ministerial Service, the All Nagaland District Ministerial Service Association (ANDMSA) has submitted a representation to the Chief Minister Nagaland on June 13 for his intervention on the three charter of demands as there is vast disparity in pay range and post held between the Directorate and District Ministerial Service when the recruitment policy and criteria of both are same.
The three-charter of demand are:
1. Amalgamation of Directorate and District Ministerial Cadre into Common Ministerial Cadre.
2. Creation of HA/Sr. HA in all the Independent DDOs and SDHA to Sub-Divisions.
3. Re-designation & Elevation of DHA & Sr. HA Post to that of District Superintendent Class-I Gazette and SDHA/Accountant to that of Asst. Superintendent Class-II.
In a press statement jointly appended by ANDMSA president, vice president and general secretary stated that the association had earlier submitted two representations to the Committee vide No. ANDMSA-GEN-COR/1/2015 dated 03-08-2015 and 18-02-2016 and a Reminder dated 14-09-2016 and ultimatum dated 19-10-2016 to the Chief Secretary. However, they said their request was not considered.
In this regard, the association has decided to go statewide agitation as decided by the house in the Federal Assembly on 24-07-2016, but, decided not to go for agitation with a view not to harass the general public, stated the press release.
The ANDMSA appealed and urged the Chief Minister to intervene into their case compassionately and use his good office and wisdom to deliver justice to the District Ministerial Employees.
Further, ANDMSA requested all the district units to be ready for any consequences in the event of failure on the part of the Government to address their demands as decided on May 16.
