Salaria said that the B. P. d, M. P. Ed, M. Phill, PhD, Physical education youth have been engaged as Rehbar-e-Khel facing explciltation, await salary hike and deduction of probation period. Over 3000 B.Ped, MPed, M. Phil, PhD Physical education degree holders were engaged as Rehbar-e-Khel in J&K Youth Services & Sports Department since 2018 by the previous PDP-BJP govt.
Salaria said that they are facing starvation and are unable to feed families, many youth left the job and are doing their own private works to earn livelihood.
He said despite COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown, most of these employees are performing their job at their respective places and have been engaged in health department nowadays, adding that no extra allowances are being given to them. They are not covered under any Health Insurance Scheme and are virtually being considered as 'orphan babies' of the J&K YSS Department.
