Salary delay: staff of Special Revenue offices in a fix

With Onam only a month away, Revenue employees deployed in temporary revenue offices opened for special purposes in the state are left in the lurch as they have been denied their salary due to non-extension of their services. The government has only given continuous service extension to the employees till June and the file for sanctioning the respective post is pending with the Finance department.

Though Revenue Minister Adoor Prakash has taken up the issue in the cabinet, the finance department is yet to take action. With the continuous sanction becoming an issue every six months, the leading unions – Kerala Revenue Department Staff Association (KRDSA) and the Kerala Land Revenue Staff Association (KLRSA) – have demanded a permanent solution to the issue.

As many as 5000 employees in special offices such as Land tribunal, land acquisition, National Highway are at the mercy of the government.
