        Vide above reference departmental anomaly committee was constituted with only the recognized federated association office bearers as staff side without other recognized unions and associations representatives.

Beyond above federated unions, remaining cadre officials are also there and they are also having their grave anomalies arising out of 7^th CPC implementation.

So their cadre representatives are also has to be added as the staff side of the departmental anomaly committee to represent their cadre anomalies.
