Early Times Report
Jammu July 10 : The Special Police Officers' wages were demanded to be raised by the Kranti Dal, which accused the J-K government of violating the SPOs' human rights paying them meager amounts and treating them as labourers.
"The state government and police are engaging in gross human rights violations with the SPOs. They are neither treated well nor equal to cops but are paid very meagre amounts in J-K", charged Kranti Dal general secretary Pritam Sharma before reporters here today."We take a serious note of the discrimination against the special police officers in their own state", Sharma said.
"The main demand of the SPOs is to increase their monthly salary from Rs 3000 to Rs 6000", he said."SPOs in the police department are treated like labourers by police officers, politicians, ministers and bureaucrats, who use them as servants in their houses when on security duty", he said."
SPOs have laid down their lives while fighting shoulder to shoulder along with security forces and police in counter insurgency operations and had done a good job in this front", he said, alleging, "but they are treated the worst".
Sharma asserted, "SPOs have no right to protest but it doesn't mean, Government snatch their right to livelihood"."There are about 23,433 SPOs, including 15118 from Jammu province and 8315 from Kashmir province, working in the police department, he said.
