Mr. Mishra, also the former Chief Minister, met the newly-appointed Governor R. L. Bhatia on Saturday and requested him to implement the 11-point agreement signed on July 18, 2007 between the government and the striking employees.
Mr. Mishra told the Governor that the agreement should be implemented forthwith in the interest of the students who were suffering due to the strike.
The agreement, he said, was supposed to be implemented within 45 days of its ratification. "It is surprising that the agreement was yet to be implemented."
Meanwhile, BSUCEF president Vimal Prasad said that the strike would continue till the State Government issued a notification of its July 18, 2007 agreement.
Demands of non-teaching staff
The non-teaching staff went on an indefinite strike to press for the implementation of their demands, which included merger of 50 per cent DA with the basic salary, assured career promotion, removal of pay anomalies in the revised pay scales, payment of house rent and city compensatory allowance with effect from February 1999.
