7th CPC Loksabha Q&A      

       Allowance Committee not submitted report to Government till 10.03.2017. See Govt's reply in Loksabha dated 10th March. Some medias and some Staffside leaders are spreading false news. Make the 16th March 2017 strike a thundering success. About 13 lakhs Central Govt employees will participate in the strike. This will be one of the best organised strike. CG Employees working in all parts of the country will demonstrate their anger , protest and discontentment against the betrayal of CG Employees & Pensioners by Modi Govt.
