About Three lakh Government employees started strike on Wednesday (07/01/2009) for implementation of the sixth pay commission recommendations.
General Secretary of Bihar State Non-Gazetted Employees Federation (BSNGEF) Manjul Kumar Das claimed that functioning of the government, from the block to the secretariat levels, had come to a standstill due to the strike.
Nearly three lakh employees owing allegiance to Bihar Secretariat Services Association (BSSA) and Bihar State Non-gazetted Employees Federation (Gope) faction went on strike as they felt "cheated" by the offer made by deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi, he said.
The government, on the other hand, claimed that functioning of the secretariat was normal as officials and other employees had reported for duty.
"There is no adverse impact of the strike and the secretariat's functioning is nearly normal as necessary work is being done," principal secretary, personnel, Amir Subhani said.
Subhani told reporters that the employees who were willing to work would be given protection and those on strike would not be allowed to forcibly prevent others from working.
