GUWAHATI, March 4 � The Sadou Asam Karmachari Parishad (SAKP) has expressed serious concern over the reported directive of the Central government to the State government to not to spend over 32 per cent of the total revenue earned by the latter on the salaries of the employees.
In a statement here, SAKP president Basab Chandra Kalita and its general secretary Nagen Das warned all political parties concerned of dire situations in case this instruction is implemented.
A similar situation was prevailing in the state in 1998. The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre compelled the State government to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the plea of financial discipline. That had affected regular disbursement of the State government employees� monthly salaries. The promotions of the third and fourth grade employees of the State government were also affected. The vacant posts were abolished. The process of provincialisation of schools also came to a halt, the SAKP said.
