In a memorandum sent to the Prime Minister, Shastri while giving facts and figures said the price index which was 6.89 per cent in January31 this year has now increased to 12.49 per cent in June 30, 2015. The rate of compensation was revised every six months based on average of the consumer price index for previous months. He said prices of all essential commodities had gone up; there was no justification on the part of the Central Government for withholding this installment for their employees and pensioners. He urged Modi to declare Jammu and Srinagar cities as Smart cities also. He said giving smart cities status to both capital cities would ensure more flow of funds for upgrading infrastructures and modernizing civic amenities While pleading the cause of sixty one thousand daily rated workers working in various departments of the State Government, Shastri also urged Modi to immediately grant special package to the tune of Rs 2000 crore per annum for regularization of 61000 casual/seasonal laborers in one go.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
