Speaking after inaugurating the diamond jubilee celebrations of Karnataka Government Secretariat Employees’ Association at Vidhana Soudha, Mr. Siddaramaiah said he was aware of the employees’ demand for wages on par with Central government employees. “I know that the Centre is implementing the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission. In this context, we will discuss the feasibility of setting up another pay commission at the government level,” he said.
