| PHE land donors stage protest, | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 6: Land donors from different areas of Jammu on Monday staged a protest against PHE Department for failing to live up to their promise.
The land donors who assembled here in PHE Complex, BC Road said they donated their land to PHE Department for construction of various schemes in the State.
"We donated land in lieu of engagement. Despite taking away our land, we were not provided any job. We feel cheated and were left with no option but to register the protest," President, Land Donor PHE Employees Union, Jammu Province, Ravinder Singh said.
"The concerned authority is not paying any heed for redressal of the genuine grievances since last three years," he said.
"Despite the assurance given by then Chief Minister, then Finance Minister and then PHE Minister in the Assembly during the recent Budget Session of last government that the land donor employees of PHE shall be regularised in the first week of April but till date no action has been taken in this regard," Ravinder alleged.
The union members strongly urged the Governor N.N Vohra for immediate regularisation of the land donor employees falling under this category at their respective places of posting and further release their pending wages. |
