| VDC members demand regularization, hike in salary | | | Early Times Report
Ramnagar, May 14: A deputation of VDC members coming from far flung areas of Dudu Basantgarh and Ramnagar zone including Loudra, Panara, Khaned, Pachound, Dandi Chakaal, Sia-Merri, Chigla Balota, Chattrairi, Majouri, Keya and Joffer led by Shiv Dev Singh Provincial General Secretary of JKNPP met with SDPO and Tehsildar Ramnagar regarding regularization and hike in their salary.
They alleged that earlier they got their salary jointly in a group comprising of seven members and salary released in the name of one head member of the group and he disbursed it among rest of the members of the group. But now for the last two years, the salary released in the name of head of the group and that head kept the entire amount of salary with him and do not bother to give it to other members of the group, which is a great injustice with them. As a result other VDC members of the group remain without salary and come at the verge of starvation. In this context, these deprived VDC members ran from pillar to post and approached the concerned authorities but no heed paid to their genuine request.
They demanded that either their salary be credited in their individual account or a certificate of disbursement be obtained from the head of the VDC group member duly signed by all of them. They further demanded that their wages should be enhanced up to Rs.3000/- Per Month in view of their tough and risky nature of job as some of the VDC members have even sacrificed their lives while fighting militants in prone and sensitive areas. |
