Mr Kumaraswamy, while rejecting the demand of the State Employees Association to implement it by this month, said the Government would review the recommendations before implementing it.

Urging the State Government employees to respond to the needs of the public, he said everyday he received thousands of petitions, seeking his intervention to get their works done.
