Early Times Report
Srinagar, July 20: Apprehensions are brewing among the daily wagers and consolidated employees as the government has sought details about them from the departments.
There are 60,000 workers, contractual, consolidated, and daily wagers working in government departments. "Among them hundreds are political appointees and are under the scanner," an official said.
Now the government has sought details about them. Such an action has worried consolidated employees and daily wagers that they may be thrown out from the departments.
"In order to have firm figures of consolidated workers who are working on monthly remuneration less than the minimum daily wage rates across the departments, information to be provided about name and particulars of consolidated workers," a recent government order reads.
The departments have also been asked to provide information about "date of engagement, state/central scheme under which engagement if any, source of funding, state or central scheme and monthly remuneration of consolidated workers".
In May this year, the government put a complete ban on engagement of casual, seasonal, adhoc, consolidated, contractual, need-based and daily-rated workers.
An official of General Administration Department said, "Once the departments submit the list, it will be known who has been appointed illegally following which government may disengage them. The government is also collecting details about contractual employees and daily wagers." The official said that there are complaints that hundreds of illegal appointments of casual labourers and consolidated workers have been made in various departments over the years.
The government has also directed departments that no appointment shall be made by any department against any post on adhoc or contractual or consolidated or temporary basis and all vacant posts shall be filled up strictly in accordance with the rules governing the recruitment to the respective services or posts.
"In case where any appointment is made by an officer in contravention to the provisions of sub-section (I), he shall be liable to disciplinary action under rules and the salary drawn by such appointee shall be recoverable from the defaulting officer as arrears of land revenue," the government has said in an order issued in May this year.
"Any new engagement of a CSLW is any department can only be made with the prior approval through the Finance Department," it added. |
