| MGNREGA Engineers Association extends support to Kashmir counterparts | | Announce pen down strike till May 18 | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 16: The Jammu chapter of MGNREGA Engineers Association Jammu province today extended support to their Kashmir counterparts and announced to join the ongoing pen-down strike in demand for various demands till May 18.
Musaib Wani, Provincial President, MGNREGA Engineers Association Jammu said that the government continues to give a cold shoulder to the genuine demands of the qualified engineering and other staff despite assurances from time to time. "There will be complete pen down strike till May 18," Wani said, adding in case government fails to fulfil their genuine demands the protests will be intensified.
It would be in place to mention here that work in Rural Development Department (RDD) in Kashmir has remained affected for the several consecutive days as MGNREGA Engineers Association continued with their pen-down strike in favour of their 'long pending' demands. The Association has already issued an appeal to the Lieutenant Governor to 'intervene' for fulfilling their 'genuine demands'.
"We have already announced pen down strike till May 18," President of the Association said. He said that two committees were formed to look into the demands but the government has failed to fulfil promises made from time to time, he said. He said the committees made recommendations but those were not acted upon by the government.
The Association is demanding hike in salary and policy for regularization as "we have given our prime of life to make the MGNREGA and other schemes of RDD a success." He said that staff carries out all developmental works in RDD including Capex, SBM and MGNREGA. |
