| JEs recruited under PM package face discrimination | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 16: Facing the worst ever discrimination due to the causal approach of the incumbent the Jammu and Kashmir Government, the junior engineers recruited under the Prime Minister’s Employment Package warned to go on strike against promotion policies of the department concerned.
These engineers are serving in different parts of the Kashmir Valley but they are being deprived of promotion benefits which is a glaring example of discrimination.
These junior engineers have given one week's notice to the higher-ups to solve their genuine issues.
“It is requested that the justice be delivered within a week failing which we may be forced to go on tool down strike besides coming over streets for want of justice”, the engineers warned in a letter written to Principal Secretary Public Works (Roads and Buildings) Department on January 15, 2022.
“Keeping the Prime Minister’s package employees out of the seniority list all of a sudden after rendering 11 years of service in 2021 and now promotion of juniors to the next higher position, by singling out PM package employees is nothing less than getting stabbed in the back”, the notice reads.
The apathy of the administration towards the employees recruited under Prime Minister’s package is quite undeniable looking at the sequence of events which have taken place from last one year,
Notable on January 14, the Public Works (Roads and Buildings) Department has ordered placement of Junior Engineers (JEs) (Mechanical) from the 2012-13 batch as Assistant Engineers (AEs) by ignoring engineers who were appointed in the year 2010-11 and are senior to the batch promoted. All the junior engineers of the 2010-11 batch appointed under the Prime Minister’s package were ignored and singled out in the promotion orders.
“The reason for the exclusion of PM package employees regarding their promotional aspects is still an enigma and best known to the government only”, the engineers pointed out, adding, “If the government considers these posts to be supernumerary, then what steps have been taken by the government in last 11 years to absorb the post on a regular one and not keeping it to linger for an indefinite period”. |
