DIMAPUR, MARCH 17 (MExN): Members of the various State Service Associations today made it clear that the demand for the implementation of the 7th ROP w.e.f March 1, 2017 stands and cautioned that failure to fulfill this demand would compel the start of the proposed pen/tool-down agitation as decided earlier. This was informed to the government during a meeting between the various associations, the Additional Chief Secretary and the Finance Commissioner. Members of the various State Service Associations have been requested to “remain alert and extend cooperation in the larger interest of the State employees.” Meanwhile, the Nagaland Secretariat Service Association (NSSA) has fully endorsed the demands of the State government employees for implementation of the 7th ROP. Informing this, the NSSA in a press release said that its members would totally participate in the agitation which would begin from March 20, 2017 onwards with no exemptions whatsoever, in the event of the government failing to meet the demands of the associations. It also informed that strict attendance in office and full participation of members would be closely monitored during the proposed agitation.
