‘Release their pending salaries before Eid’
Mubashir Wani
Srinagar, July 22 (KNO): Terming alleged ‘dillydallying tactics’ of the government in regularizing services of daily wagers, need base, consolidate and contractual employees as ‘mockery of service rules’, Employees Joint Action Committee (EJAC) on Wednesday asked the government to resolve ‘once for all’ the issues confronting these employees.
Fayaz Shabnam, President of the association, as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said that a one-time regularization policy should be framed for these employees and their pending salaries released well before the upcoming Eid-ul-Adha.
“Government should come clear over the issues confronting these employees and frame a one-time policy for their regularization. Their salaries which are pending for the past several months should also be released,” Shabnam said while addressing the presser at Kashmir Press Club (KPC) here.
He warned the government of dire consequences in case the pending salaries of un-regularized employees are not released well before the upcoming Eid, to be celebrated on August 1.
Shabnam said most of the daily wagers and need base employees have attained the age of superannuation, however, the government instead of regularizing them, extends services of ex-servicemen in every government sector.
“There should be no delay on the part of the government in releasing their pending salaries before Eid and framing a one-time regularization policy for them. They too want to celebrate Eid with their families but are helpless as their salaries have not been released for months together,” Shabnam added.
He said the employees body has never hesitated to be the voice of helpless daily wagers, consolidate and need base employees and that they will continue their support to them till their issues are resolved according to their wishes—(KNO)
