A screengrab of a newspaper clipping is doing rounds on social media claiming that from the next financial year there would be a reduction in salaries of government employees.
The Facebook caption read, “कर्मचारी सोच रहे थे किसान का मसला है, लेकिन कमाई करने वाला बचेगा कोई नहीं, धीरे धीरे सब का नम्बर आने वाला है”
(Translation: Employees were thinking about the issue of the farmer, But no one will earn money. Slowly everyone’s number is coming.)

एक न्यूज़ आर्टिकल में दावा किया जा रहा है कि श्रम क़ानून में बदलाव होने के कारण अगले वर्ष से सरकारी कर्मचारियों का वेतन कम हो जाएगा। #PIBFactCheck: यह दावा फर्जी है। वेतन विधेयक, 2019 केंद्र और राज्य सरकारों के कर्मचारियों पर लागू नहीं होगा। pic.twitter.com/Et2tI62mMb
