 Early Times Report
Jammu, May 5: J&K Retired Police Pensioners staged protest demonstration against government for discrimination in pay anomaly at Press Club, Jammu under the chairmanship of Ajit Singh.
The members said that Govt. Order No. 229 - F of 2014 dated 17-10-2014 regarding pay anomaly, effect is being given prospectively, which means from the date of order. Whereas, the effect should have been given from the year 1996 when 5th pay commission was implemented throughout the State but only this Police Deptt. was left out. Some of them have even expired. Surviving strugglers should get the benefit. Various Pay anomaly committees have been formed and they have given their opinion; and approvals from time to time. As per the details of such committees wherein the first pay anomaly committee was formed in the year Oct. 2009 whose G.O. No. was 1387 GAD dated 8th Oct. 2009 based on its recommendations, orders were issued vide G.D. No., 296 F dated 21st Dec, 2010 for removal of pay anomaly. The second committee was constituted on 15th Sept. 2011 Govt. revived pay anomaly committee vide order No. 67-GAD of 2012 dated January, 2012 to once again look into the pay anomaly. This file is not found in Secretariat Office. Now, for the third time, again 21st April, 2016, G.O. No. 420 GAD of 2016 is formed to look into pay anomaly. We would like to mention here that like two previous occasions of committees, this third committee should not be time killing. As such we went to know the time frame, since this is lingering on from last 20 years. |
