Goa Cong demands implementation of 7th Pay Commission before Diwali

Panaji, Oct 24 (UNI) Criticising the BJP-led state government for failing to implement the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission, the opposition Congress in Goa today demanded the government to implement the recommendations, before the Deepawali festival.
Addressing a press conference at party headquarters in the city, Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) president Luzinho Faleiro said the Seventh Pay Commission had recommended 14 per cent hike but the cost of living went up as inflation skyrocketed.
''There was widespread resentment and anger against the recommendations after it came out. Neverthless, Centre has implemented the recommendations from January this year. The Goa government has not implemented it as yet even as the cost of living has increased tremendously in the state,'' he said.
There is no row at position 0.
