Jammu Development Authority (JDA) staff continued their strike for their 12th consecutive day on Tuesday demanding implementation of the seventh pay commission recommendations, even as over five lakh government employees in Jammu and Kashmir have received their pay this month according to the pay panel's recommendations. Over 200 staff under the banner of JDA Employees Welfare Association members continued their strike and raised slogans in favour of their demands and against the Vice Chairman of JDA. A large number of employees assembled outside the JDA office and held protest demanding implementation of seventh pay commission recommendations, enhancement in the wages of daily wagers and revocation of the 'no work, no pay' order. The association snapped water and power supply to Vikas Bhawan, housing the JDA office and also stopped official vehicles. However, he said that the employees will get the full benefit of seventh pay commission as a notification in this regard has been issued by the government.
