Bengaluru, May 31: The Grameen Dak Sevaks Association has said that it has called for Bharat bandh on June 4 demanding implementation of the 7th Pay Commission recommendations for the Grameen Dak Sevaks.

The indefinite dharna being conducted by the Dak Sevaks demanding the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission recommendation in order to implement the Kamalesh Chandra report to remove the salary disparity has reached 11 day. Even then, the central government has kept silent over the issue, said association secretary KS Rudresh.

The protest would be continued in front of various other post offices in Bengaluru every day. Even after 18 months of submitting the report by the Kamalesh Chandra Commission, the central government is dilly dallying to implement it. In order to draw the attention of the central government, the Grameen Dak Sevaks have been staging protest in front of the post office since May 22, he said.

Total 2.85 lakh employees have been suffering from the pay disparity. Moreover, over 4000 employees have been to Raj Bhavan on May 28 and submitted a memorandum to the Governor besides submitting the memorandums to Union Ministers DV Sadananda Gowda and Ananth Kumar. If the government failed to take action immediately, they would observe Bharat Bandh on June 4, he said.
