State government revised the pay structure

This is an additional burden of Rs 1,440 crore on an annual basis. Saha said that despite the paucity of resources, the state government has revised the pay structure. This will benefit lakhs of employees and their families. Let us tell you that assembly elections are to be held in the Northeast in February.
