MUMBAI, April 25 -- Government and semi-government employees in Maharashtra, who launched an indefinite strike on April 21, called off their agitation on Friday evening after the state administration assured that a notification on the implementation of the Revised National Pension Scheme (RNPS) would be issued within a fortnight. The strike was spearheaded by the Coordination Committee for Government, Semi-Government, Teaching and Non-Teaching Staff, which had demanded implementation of the RNPS, recruitment to vacant posts, a cashless medical insurance scheme of Rs.5 lakh, raising the retirement age from 58 to 60 years, and lifting the ban on the recruitment of Class 4 employees. "We have received an assurance that the notification for RNPS will be issued within 15 days and recruitment for Class 4 posts will resume," said Vishwas Katkar, coordinator of the committee, in a statement.
