Scrutiny of daily wagers halted due to COVID in J&K 7/3/2021 12:03:24 AM Ishtiyaq Ahmad Early Times Report Srinagar, July 2: The process for scrutinizing consolidated and daily wagers has been hit due to COVID-19 in Jammu & Kashmir. In June 2019, the government asked departments to provide the list of consolidated workers and daily wagers. “In order to have firm figures of consolidated workers who are working on monthly remuneration less than the minimum daily wage rates across the departments, information to be provided about name and particulars of consolidated workers,” an order issued in June 2019 reads. The departments were asked to provide information about “date of engagement, state/central scheme under which engagement if any, source of funding, state or central scheme and monthly remuneration of consolidated workers”. However, the process has been halted due to COVID-19 in Jammu and Kashmir. “We had three continuous lockdowns in Jammu & Kashmir. First after abrogation of Article 370 then after during first and second COVID wave,” a senior official said. “There are errors and inaccurate details of daily wagers provided by various departments. The process for scrutinizing of details has been halted due to COVID,” the official said. The official said that process for scrutinizing of documents was aimed at weeding out illegal appointments. The official said that there are 60,000 workers, contractual, consolidated, and daily wagers working in government departments. An official of General Administration Department said, “Once the departments submit the list, it will be known who has been appointed illegally.” The official said that there are complaints that hundreds of illegal appointments of casual labourers and consolidated workers have been made in various departments over the years. The government has also directed departments that no appointment shall be made by any department against any post on adhoc or contractual or consolidated or temporary basis and all vacant posts shall be filled up strictly in accordance with the rules governing the recruitment to the respective services or posts.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
