The state government on Wednesday announced a 30 per cent hike in salaries for fixed-wage employees. A decision in this regard, which is effective from October, was taken in the meeting of the state cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel.
State minister Rushikesh Patel, who is also the government spokesperson, announced the decision while adding that it is going to benefit around 61,560 employees of the state government.

In reply to a question, Patel said that the hike will be applicable to all the employees on fixed wages in the state, including those of boards and corporations.
