Revoke SRO 202, come up with employment policy:Rana 6/5/2020 10:35:25 PM EARLY TIMES REPORT JAMMU, June 5: Seeking immediate revocation of discriminatory SRO 202 in the larger interest of those in employment and likely to be appointed, Provincial President National Conference Devender Singh Rana today urged the Jammu and Kashmir administration to come up with a comprehensive employment policy in tone with the commitments being made for nearly a year now since the imposition of the Central rule to combat the burgeoning unemployment problem and spell out the road map for promoting employability at the strength of skill development. The Provincial President feared that the administration has no clue about the level of unemployment and un-employability in the absence of an authentic verified data-base. This exercise too was sabotaged, as a result of which the policy planners remain ignorant about the magnitude of the issue in Jammu and Kashmir, Rana said in a statement. “No tangible road map has been prepared despite liberal promises being made on employment front,”, Rana said, hoping that the administration will take youth into confidence in this regard with assurance about safeguarding the interests of permanent residents and providing equitable opportunities to all belonging to different regions and sub regions of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the far-flung, remote and backward areas. On SRO 202, the Provincial President said the rule has been demoralising for the employees selected under this proviso and also the aspiring candidates as it brings parity among the government servants. He urged the administration to revoke the SRO 202 with retrospective effect. He described SRO 202 as against natural justice and well defined maxim of ‘equal pay for equal work’, saying the five-year probation instead of two years with denial of increments is frustrating for the employees and job seeking unemployed educated youth. This SRO does not only render the appointees stagnant with minimum of the pay scale but also denies them the benefit of career advancement, he said. Rana exhorted the administration to come up with a blueprint on the number of vacancies in various categories and time schedule for filling up these on fast-track basis. The Provincial President also flagged the issue of regularization of daily rated, casual, need based and other segments of workers engaged from time to time, saying they are being forced to take agitational path by not redressing their legitimate concerns.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
