Srinagar, Feb 22 : About 100 Public Health Engineering (PHE) department daily wagers and casual labourers were taken into preventive custody when they took to streets, demanding regularisation of their services.
Thousands of PHE daily wagers from different parts of the Kashmir valley gathered at Water Works Department office at Exchange Road near here today.
They alleged that despite repeated assurance by the government, their services were not regularised.
The daily wagers later took out a procession towards Mushtaq Press Enclave at Partap Park. However, after marching through different streets, including Exchange road and Moulana Azad road the processionists were stopped by police and security forces. Later about 100 processionists were taken into preventive custody.
The PHE daily wagers alleged that majority of them have been working in the department for the past more than ten years. Despite government order that those who have completed seven years in service will get permanent jobs, we are being ignored, they alleged. The daily wagers said majority field work was being done by them still they are being deprived of their right by the government despite several agreements. |
