Jammu, Dec 29: A demonstration and sitting dharna was observed by the VRS employees outside the Press Club Exhibition Ground Jammu under the leadership of Dev Raj Bali President VRS Union.

The protestors alleged that till date no positive response is being given to we people and it appears that the coalition Govt has no concern with the public and the VRS/GHS employees despite its claims that one who takes the VRS/GHS his/her dues will be cleared within the 60 days from the date he took the VRS/GHS. Speakers said, "there is clear violation of order No. 218-F of 2007 dtd 16-7-2007 and order No.92-F in which it was clearly mentioned that "Sanction is accorded to the implementation of Golden Handshake (GHS/Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VSR) for the employees of the State Public Sector Undertaking (PSUs) as per the report of the High Power Committee under the chairmanship of B R Kundal, Financial Commissioner (Home)."

They lamented they are amazed that benefits are being given to the in-service employees and the fresh retiring employees of the J&K SRTC but only 670 VRS/GHS employees have been ignored and the reasons better known to the concerned.
