| Retirement age to be enhanced by a year | | CSC to review report, JCC likely to be invited for fresh talks | |
EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, May 16: Days after Chief Minster Omar Abdullah hinted at a possible negotiation with the employees, state government is believed to have decided to formally invite JCC leaders for yet another round of talks in order to break the ice.
Sources within the establishment told that the Cabinet Sub Committee may meet in a couple of days to review the Chief Secretary's report before inviting JCC leaders for the fresh round of talks.
"It is possible that government may agree to increase one year in the retirement age." Sources maintained, adding that Chief Secretary Madav Lal has also possibly recommended a one year increase in the retirement age.
Sources said that the government is contemplating and even the Chief Minster Omar Abdullah seems to have agreed to SC's recommendations and have told Cabinet Sub Committee to hold a meeting and submit a final report in this regard before May 24.
The Cabinet Sub Committee is headed by Finance Minster Ab Rahim Rather whereas Taj Mohi ud din, Ali Mohammad Sagar, Peerzada Mohammad Syed
and S.S Slathia are others members of the said empowered committee constituted last year to prepare a road map with regard to the demands put forth by employees.
Interestingly the development comes after Chief Minster Omar Abdullah on Monday had termed the Employees strike call as 'uncalled for' and said that the chapter regarding the enhancement of retirement age was not closed as yet.
Pertinently JCC has called for a three day strike from 24th of May to press for their demands including the a two year enhancement in the retirement age of the state government employees.
"We don't want any confrontation with the government, but they must realize that employees too have genuine demands which need to be met," a senior JCC leader Mohammad Khursheed Alam said.
However JCC senior leader Abdul Qayoom Wani while ruling out any possibility of 'softening' the stand told, "Govt. pushed the employees against the wall and backtracked from its written agreement." |
