Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 6: Thousands of Daily Wagers of PHE Department from different areas of Jammu province converged near the Press Club of Jammu where a strong protest was staged against the non-payments of the earned wages of PHE workers for the last about 60 months.
Protesting daily wagers said that it was unfortunate that the Government, the concerned Department as also the different agencies were all along mute spectator on the agony of the workers and their suicidal deaths. Responsibility needed to be fixed as to who was really accountable for these avoidable deaths to ensure that no further suicide of the kind reoccur Moreover, Tanveer Hussain, President of ALL J&K PHE ITI Trained, CP and Land Donor Workers Association mentioned and expressed elaborately the agonies, sufferings and financial hardships being faced by the daily wagers/ workers due to callousness of all the successive governments as also the state administration for the last over twenty years by not fulfilling the genuine demands of the workers regarding their regularization and payment of pending wages. The government never fulfilled its commitment and continued to keep the fate of the workers in the lurch. The workers, facing lot of financial hardships to run their household as also to take proper care of their school going children, time and again approached the governments of the time but without any fruitful result despite the fact that all the essential services are being handled by these workers with full devotion and dedication.
He said that over 23000 workers are in the Jammu province and 9,000 are working in Kashmir valley. Our children are in a state of starvation for want of wages for years together but nobody at the helm of affairs in the government bothered to look into our difficulties and financial hardships for the last over 20 years in spite of the fact that the workers are peacefully protesting and agitating for about four years across the state. Other prominent leaders who addressed the gathering included Deepak Gupta Vice President, Subash Chander General Secy, Manjeet Singh, Vijay Kumar, Jeevan Singh, Tilak Raj, Pawan Kumar, Pardeep Sharma, Dinesh Sharma, Ravi Sharma, Ganesh and Rajesh Sharma. |
