| KRCE Association demands revocation of ads | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Sep 1: The All J&K Konkan Railways Consulting Engineers (KRCE) Association has asked Konkan Railways to immediately roll back an advertisement seeking engineers from the entire country for jobs in the Rs 17, 000 crore Kashmir valley rail project.
The association has also demanded extension to engaged engineers whose five-year agreement would cease this year.
Addressing media persons here today, association president Inderjeet Singh President All J&K Konkan Railways Consulting Engineers Association, said, “Konkan Railway Corporation Limited (KRCL) under an obligation should invite applications from graduate civil engineers of the Jammu and Kashmir only, but the Corporation vide advertisement number KR/CO/P/USBRL/02/2010 of August 27 has now invited applications from graduate engineers of the entire country.”
“Despite militancy and demanding conditions, we performed our work with dedication and sincerity. However, instead of extending our agreement, the KRCL has invited applications on all-India basis,” said Singh
“Leave aside extension, no preference has been given to the working engineers in the fresh advertisement,” he said, adding that “Most of the civil engineers have crossed the upper age limit. Instead of considering our case sympathetically, the KRCL has delivered a death-blow.”
Singh said, “Working engineers have already gone on an indefinite strike from August 29 and, hence, we request the state government and Union government to help us.” Association Chairman Raj Paull Singh said, “For the last over a year the KRCL had been giving false assurances of giving extension to the working engineers but nothing has been done.”
Singh said, “We demand immediate revocation of the advertisement and extension to the engaged engineers. Otherwise, we would fight for our rights and can go to any extent.”
On the other hand over 50 drivers of the various contract carrier for KRCL has also suspended the work in demand of the hike in the monthly amount paid to them.
Mohit Mahajan Dy Chief Engineer HQ KRCL Reasi when contacted in this matter said that all the engineers and the other individuals working with KRCL on this project are part of a contract agreement.
