While talking to the mediapersons here on Friday, Association’s General Secretary Ambika Prasad Rawat told that the fitment factor of 2.57 would be applied for the employees of state but the fitment factor of 2.42 would be applied for the pensioners. The pensioners of the state are depressed by this decision of the government. This decision has ended the happiness and the hope of the pensioners regarding the 7th pay commission.

This kind of discrimination should be ended else the association would protest against the government in all over the state.
