Itanagar (PTI): The Union Minister for Department of North-East Mani Shankar Aiyar has forwarded to the Union Finance Ministry the request by Arunachal Pradesh Government for special Central assistance to meet the financial demand made by the striking state government employees.
Aiyar in a letter to Pranab Mukherjee, now in charge of the Finance Ministry, on February 19, said, "although this is not a matter which falls within the allocation of business rule for the ministry of DoNER, I thought I might give myself the liberty of bringing the issue to your attention as the administration has been paralysed for the last few weeks by the strike of the state employees agitating for remuneration on Sixth Pay Commission (SPC)."
He said a delegation of striking employees led by two BJP Lok Sabha members from the state, Kiren Rijiju and Tapir Gao, met him earlier on that day and gave him copy of their letter to the President urging assistance to the state government for implementation of the SPC for employees.
