Patna (Bihar Times): More than three lac govt. employees went on indefinite strike throughout the state demanding implementation of 6th pay commission in ‘letter and spirit’.

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.
"We want payment of arrears according to the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations from January 1, 2006 and we will not accept anything less than that," Das said.
The government offer to pay the arrears with effect from April 1, 2007 was not acceptable to them, he said.

On the other hand, Bihar High School Teachers Association and Bihar Inspector Supervisor Association are among some other groups which had not joined the strike.
Meanwhile, state government has made it clear that employees would not get pay of the strike period as the 'no work no pay principle' would be followed strictly.
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 claimed.
