Opposition lists problems to flag on Day 2

SHILLONG: The opposition parties have prepared a long list of issues to be raised on the floor of the House on Day 2 of the winter session on Wednesday keeping in mind the short duration of business.
Problems in the power sector, basin development and the latest Fifth Pay Commission are some of the topics to be taken up by opposition leaders.
On December 8, the first day of the session, there was only government business.
Opposition MLA and UDP leader Jemino Mawthoh said he, along with Mawprem MLA Paul Lyngdoh, will take up a special motion on implementation of the Fifth Pay Commission.
“Though we hail the decision of the government to implement the Fifth Pay Commission for government employees, we will raise that there are other categories of employees like teachers, contractual employees, daily wage earners who are also in need of benefits,” Mawthoh said.
Other issues like anomalies in the recruitment of SF-10 candidates, problems in the power sector, registration of land in border areas and GST rollout in the state will also be raised.
Wednesday is the only day for private members’ business. The third day (Thursday) will again see government business.
