ITANAGAR, Nov 24: Reiterating their demands, the Confederation of Service Associations of Arunachal Pradesh (CoSAAP)  has appealed to the state government to redress their demand for the lateral entry of officers under APCS (EG), cancellation of out-of-turn appointments, and implementation of the old pension scheme in the state.
Addressing the media persons at the press club here today, President CoSAAP Likha Tech said that it has been more than four years that the concerned department has not yet finalized the eligible candidates for the interview; And the delay, is hampering the overall administrative development in many districts of the state.
He said, according to the sources and response from the concerned department, the delay is due to the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed in the court in the matter due to which the recruitment of 15 posts is being put on hold. 
“Nonetheless, the delay is also hampering the aspirants in terms of upper age. Therefore, the concerned department should look into the matter and immediately conduct the examination as soon as the recent APPSC paper leakage fiasco comes to an end,” he said.
While demanding proper and immediate implementation of Cabinet  decision to cancel all the out-of-turn appointments in departments, he said that the state government has already assured to cancel the appointments of such officials during a cabinet meeting this year. However, there is no information provided by the state government on the matter till date.
Meanwhile, CoSAAP General Secretary Gonya Riba said the New Pension Scheme (NPS) is not only a concern for the employees during service time but also after service (Pension). Moreover, NPS is more like investing in a share market where there is no guarantee of social as well as economic stability of the government employees.
He said that the association demands ‘one nation, one pension’ by implementing the old pension scheme (OPS). The association are in talks with other northeast states to voice against the NPS. States like Rajasthan, Chattisgarh, Jharkand, and Punjab have already scraped the NPS by OPS.
Meanwhile,  CoSAAP also expressed gratitude to the state government for announcing grant increases in DA, DR, HRA for government employees and NPA for non-practicing Doctors.They also  appealed  the state government to identify non-performing officials and accordingly punish them.
