| NPP Supremo appeal President to regularize all SPOs | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, July 28: Prof. Bhim Singh, President of J&K National Panthers Party, who is also Executive Chairman of State Legal Aid Committee, J&K has urged Ramnath Kovind, the President of India for his urgent intervention to ensure that long awaited justice is done to police SPOs in J&K who have been working as active policemen for years and still have not been regularized in J&K and Ladakh.
Prof.Bhim Singh has been agitating for securing justice, equal wages for equal work rights since 1982 when he (Bhim Singh) was a sitting MLA in J&K. Prof. Bhim Singh also moved a writ petition seeking equal salary (wages) for equal work as the SPOs in full police uniform and equipment functioning as a policeman at all levels in J&K and Ladakh. It was Legal Aid Committee which is headed by Prof.Bhim Singh as its Executive Chairman which has been agitating from the floors of the J&K Assembly to the floors of High Court and Supreme Court seeking justice and equity for the J&K SPOs who were paid poorly which was not equivalent to the wages of a daily wager.
Prof.Bhim Singh conveyed to the President of India that J&K and Ladakh SPOs (Special Police Officers-as they have been called) paid less than a daily wager on the streets. Many of them also lost their lives while fighting/resisting the militants and the law-breakers in J&K.
Prof.Bhim Singh hoped that intervention by the President of India shall save the lives of more than 35000 SPOs who have been paid less than a daily wager whereas they have been working at par with other policemen in J&K and Ladakh. |
