| Raj Bhawan decision to disengage contractual, daily-wagers unnerves NC, PDP | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, May 27: The decision of the Raj Bhawan to disengage the daily wagers and other workers who were engaged in 2010 and 2015, has unnerved the National Conference and Peoples Democratic Party, the twin regional parties that led the previous regimes during the said period of time.
The two regional parties that were accused of absorbing their nears and dears in government jobs through such decisions have started feeling the heat and apprehend that if the order is not revoked it will damage their performance in the Assembly polls.
Sources said both the parties had absorbed their political workers through such decisions and that the disengagement would affect their vote shares in Assembly polls.
Both the parties have already started issuing statements asking the Governor SP Malik to reconsider the decision.
In a recent development, the government besides banning engagement of casual, seasonal, adhoc, consolidated, contractual, need-based and daily-rated workers also directed all the officials to discontinue all those workers engaged on or after April 29, 2010 and on or after 17 March 2015.
It is pertinent to mention that from 2008 to 2014, Omar Abdullah was the Chief Minister succeeded by Mufti Muhammad Sayeed and Mehbooba Mufti of PDP.
The recent order on disengagement states: "It is impressed upon all the officers of the State government to strictly adhere/observe the statutory rules and codal provisions in letter and spirit and ensure that (i) any person appointed on adhoc/contractual/consolidated/ temporary basis after the imposition of ban on such engagements (i.e. on or after 29.04.2010) in contravention of the provisions of the Act shall forthwith cease to continue."
The order adds that "(ii) any person engaged as casual/seasonal/need bases worker after imposition of ban on such engagements (i.e. on or after 17.03.2015) without specific approval of competent authority or without following due procedure shall also cease to continue forthwith; and (iii) in the event of failure to comply with these instructions, the concerned officer(s) will be held personally responsible and the amount due or paid to such irregular appointee(s)/ engage(s) shall be recovered from the personal emoluments of the officer(s) concerned who had made/continued such engagements(s) in violation of the rules, orders or codal procedures, besides the termination of all such irregular appointment(s)/engagement(s)." |
