THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: State finance Minister Thomas Isaac has said the order regarding salary challenge for government employees will be issued this week itself.

He added that the salary challenge will also be implemented in public sector units.

“No decision has been taken regarding a meeting with government employees but the government continues to insist that the government employees forego one month’s salary,” he said.

Thomas Isaac has also asked employees in Public Sector units to take part in the salary challenge. The minister informed that Welfare pension would reach the beneficiaries by post. Rs 8000 would be sent to each pension beneficiary.

Those who have been getting the pension through cooperative banks will continue to get that via such banks.
