Kathmandu. After the meeting of the board of the Securities Board, the agitating employees have become more angry.

The employees of the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) who have been on strike for the past 20 days following the decision of the Ministry of Finance regarding the perks and perks of the employees of the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) have become even more upset with the board meeting held today.

The agitating employees’ unions and other employees are preparing to intensify their protest programmes from Monday. The agitating employees have accused the board meeting of making the employees more upset instead of addressing their demands.

“Today’s board meeting has decided to form a committee comprising two board members and some high-ranking employees to study the letter of finance instead of fulfilling our demands,” said an official of the union. It’s all been a mess. We do not accept this committee. We don’t even accept the decision of the board of directors. Our agitation continues. According to him, the agitation will be even stronger from tomorrow.

“We will hold discussions tomorrow with all the employees,” the union official said, adding, “We will continue the agitation after taking suggestions from all.” ’

The decision of the board meeting held this evening has not been finalized.

The employees of the board have been agitating for the last 20 days, saying that the service and facilities will be taken away due to the letter sent by the Ministry of Finance on September 18.

The employees have continued their agitation demanding that the revenue secretary-level decision of September 14 will reduce the perks and perks of the employees.

The staff had expected that the issue would be resolved in today’s meeting. However, the agitating employees’ unions have demanded that the Ministry of Finance withdraw the letter.

It is said that the employees are in the mood to go to court if the ministry does not withdraw the letter.

Among the demands put forth by the employees include maintaining the autonomy of the board, revoking the illegal order, ending the psychological terror of the employees and ensuring an environment conducive to reduce the fear of the employees. The agitating employees have urged the party leadership to resolve the problem on time.

On September 18, the Ministry had informed about three issues as per the decision of September 16 (Revenue Secretary level) regarding the Employees Welfare Fund and Employees Security Fund operated by the Board.

Clause 22, Section 116 of the Securities Act, 2063, Clause 15 of the Legislation Act, 2081, Government of Nepal (Division of Work) Regulations, 2074 and Rule 167 of the Securities Board Employees Service and Conditions Regulations, 2068 BS have been issued against the Securities Board Employees Welfare Fund Working Procedure, 2071 and the Securities Board of Nepal Employees Protection Fund (Operation and Management) Procedure, 2075 with immediate effect.

It is stated that the government will immediately initiate the process to recover the amount paid from the fund in the past as government dues on the basis of the procedures made against the prevailing laws and the consent of the Ministry of Finance will be compulsorily obtained before taking any decision on any financial liability.
