| Harsh condemns engagement of retired persons by H&UDD | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 24: Accusing the Housing and Urban Development Deptt (H&UDD) of misconduct and malfeasance, Chairman JKNPP and former Minister Harsh Dev Singh condemned the engagement of retired persons by the department in Housing For All (HFA) Mission and dis-engagement of the regularly appointed candidates in the most arbitrary and unlawful manner. In a press statement issued here, elucidating his point, he said that 21 technical experts including Engineers, Town Planners, MIS, GIS, capacity building co-coordinators and Social Development Specialists were appointed in February 2015 under Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) during Governor's rule by following the proper selection process and in accordance with the recommendations of the selection committee constituted for the purpose. He said that the said candidates were regularly appointed and were performing their duties until recently when the govt. ordered their dis-engagement on the ground that the RAY scheme has been revamped as HFA Scheme by the govt. of India. He regretted that the harassment of the said technical experts had started immediately after the formation of govt. in March, 2015 with the new dispensation averse to the continuance of the said candidates appointed during Governor's rule. He said that their appointment was opposed by the new dispensation on the pretext that the RAY scheme under which they had been appointed had been converted into HFA scheme and hence their services were no longer required. He said that after harassing the said appointees for a few months they were eventually dis-engaged around a month back on frivolous grounds.
He appealed to the Governor to personally intervene so as to expose the vested interests and to ensure justice to the aggrieved candidates. He said that the candidates appointed under RAY scheme could not have been dis-engaged as the spirit of scheme remains the same and only nomenclature has been changed. He said that even GOI vide his office order no. 11011/30/2015-HFA-3/FTS 13334 dated 03.08.15 has asked all states govt. and Union territories to utilize the resources both human as well as infrastructure of RAY into HFA but the new govt. refused to entertain the same. He regretted that whereas all other states had retained their technical cells working previously under RAY and continued them under HFA, the helmsman in J&K for political and other vested interests chose to terminate them. |
