Speaking at the occasion, Chandel branch president HT Paulingson demanded that the state Government take immediate measures for release of pending arrears of ADC teachers and staff members, and to declare in clear terms the Government's stand on pension scheme for employees of the six Autonomous District Councils.
He cautioned that the Government will be held responsible for any untoward incidents that take place as a consequence of delay in taking necessary steps.
