Mizoram Govt proposes Pay Hike

Aizawl, Oct. 21 : The Mizoram government today said it was considering implementing the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission for its employees.

Chief minister Lalthan-hawla, who also holds the finance portfolio, told the Assembly that the cabinet would look into the recommendations.

"We want to implement the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission, but our financial condition does not permit us to do it immediately," he said, adding that the additional expenditure arising out of the hiked pay for the government employees would be a huge burden on the state exchequer.
