The Chief Minister of Uttarakhand Trivendra Singh Rawat has said that the Government is determined not allow the State to get converted into a ‘Strike State’. He was talking to the newsmen at State party office on Tuesday.
Responding to a question about state wide strike by the employees of Uttarakhand Purva Sainik Kalyan Nigam Limited (UPNL) and its impact on different services, Rawat said that the state government is ready for talks with the workers but clarified that the Government would not come under any sort of pressure.
He added that the state government is trying to remove pay disparities in different departments. On all weather road, the CM said that the Union government has agreed on the contention of the state Government that interest should also be paid on the compensation amount to the people whose land have been acquired for the project.
Now an interest 12 percent on the compensation amount would also be paid to the farmers along with the compensation amount, he informed.
