The members present expressed their anguish over the status of their grade pay, house rent allowance, restructuring of cadres, pay structure, filling of vacancies to decrease the work load, due promotion, facilities to their children, etc. These demands were again and again put before the concerned authorities, who had paid no heed to these issues in spite of assurances and promises.
