| Safai karamcharis threaten stir, accuse Babus of pushing them to starvation | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 22: Scores of safai karamcharis and sewermen from ULB held massive protest demonstrations in Srinagar, demanding regularization of their services. They have threatened to go for mass strike if demands were not fulfilled within a stipulated time period of two weeks.
Even after passing of several years, scores of safai karamcharis and sewermen working on contract basis are still waiting for regularisation of their jobs. Notably, a number of safai karamcharis have been demanding regularisation of jobs for a long time, but to no avail.
While holding protests in Srinagar, they said that they are underpaid but work for equal hours as regular employees. They demanded that the government must increase their salaries and regularise their jobs.
The safai karamcharis and sewermen added that they had been working in the civic body for the past several years, but their jobs were not being regularised despite repeated assurances. “Our monthly income is very low and it is hard to meet our daily needs. Moreover, we are forced to work under unsafe conditions due to unavailability of safety kits. The government should take necessary measures for the welfare of we safai karamcharis,” they said while talking to Early Times newspaper.
They said that that contractual employees are often exploited and that they should get salary equal to regular employees. “All employees whether regular or contractual work in same conditions. There should be no discrimination with anyone. All contractual employees should be regularised.” |
