The Meghalaya Cabinet has approved the Meghalaya Forest Service (Third Amendment) Rules, 2021 to ensure uniformity and parity of pay of the service with that of the Meghalaya Civil Service (MCS) and Meghalaya Police Service (MPS).
Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma said that there existed flaws in Meghalaya Forest Service (MFS) rules that prevented MFS officers from receiving pay parity with officers posted under MCS and MPS in the state.
“The new rules allow us to bring MFS officers at par with the MCS and the MPS officers,” said Conrad Sangma.
The process is being done as per the recommendations of the Fifth Pay Commission.
