| Farooq for bringing KAS, KPS officers at par with IAS, IPS officers | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | May 3
Joining chorus with the PDP, Opposition National Conference (NC) on Saturday tossed another coin in the poll arena urging Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh to impress upon the J&K Government to bring the KAS (Kashmir Administrative Service) and KPS (Kashmir Police Service) officers at par in terms of pay scales with IAS and IPS officers so as to encourage sons of the soil with better understanding of issues.
In a press statement issued here today, NC patron also urged PM to direct state government to implement recommendations of the sixth pay commission.
Abdullah said, ‘the local officers have proved their mettle time and again in difficult circumstances prevailing in the state and have performed their duties with excellence, honesty and uprightness’. He said the local officers deserved to be encouraged and given a pat on their back. He said in a state like Jammu and Kashmir where the avenues of education have not reached all as yet it is difficult for the state subjects to compete at the all India level and as such do not get enough opportunities for placement in central services and as such the need to bring the local KAS and KPS officers at par with the IAS and IPS in terms of pay scales. He said this move of the state government will not only give confidence to the local officers but also encourage the local unemployed to strive harder to make it to the administrative services of the state.
He said the state government should immediately bring the KAS and KPS officers at par with the IAS and IPS in terms of their time scale promotions as well so that the local officers have a greater role to play in the process of decision making in the state which will be for the welfare of the people of the state as the local officers are better versed with the topography of the state and have better understanding of the diverse, social, ethnic, linguistic and regional pattern of the state which is very peculiar in its nature and content. |
