Gujarat hikes ministers’ allowances while contract workers await increment

In response to a question raised in the Legislative Assembly, the government admitted that 5,228 applications requesting a salary increase have been submitted by employees.

However, despite repeated appeals, the government has remained indifferent.

While there are numerous vacancies across different government departments in Gujarat, the recruitments have been delayed by the government, too.

Instead of hiring permanent employees, the government is employing fixed-salary workers on contract-basis.
