EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Nov 3: All Department Casual Labours United Front Jammu Province reiterated its demand of immediate regularizing services of Casual Labours/Need based employees working in different government departments.
The Government of Jammu and Kashmir, (J&K UT) is well apprised of the fact: that a large number of workers, say about 60,000, have been engaged, by the governments of the time, from time to time, during last over 25 years in different departments like PHE, PDD, PWD(R&13), Agriculture Department, Estates Department, Floriculture Department, PMGSY etc and others for smooth functioning of the government work. The workers have all along been representing to the government for their regularization but in turn the authorities at the helm of affairs continued to cause delay in delivery of justice by constituting committees on committees with no desirable result.
Now the J&K UT Government is likely to recruit about 50,000 employees in different categories including 10,000 in class IV cadre by direct recruitment as notified on 04-06-2020. That we are need based workers serving in the different department for last more than 25 years but till date our services have not been regularized. That we are working in the different departments with the entire satisfaction of our superior officers and staff. That among us there is one class of employees who are updating and submitting all the important correspondence from time to time and playing a key role in the department.
The Front demanded regularization of 60,000 Casual Labour Employees before fresh recruitment, implementation of minimum wages act and release of pending wages. |
