JAMMU, Sept 30: The Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) has drawn the attention of the Government to the issue of regularization of services of paramedical staff.
The Party flayed the Government for step-motherly treatment meted out to 1200 paramedical staff working in Government Medical Colleges and its Associated Hospitals of Srinagar/Jammu and urged the Government to regularize them under SRO 384 of 2009 followed by 409 of 2013 on academic arrangements.
Mir said paramedical staff including staff nurses/pharmacists etc were working for last 10 years without any break on clear vacancies, besides they have been selected through proper selection process, as per the norms laid down by the Government, but it was unfortunate to observe that their hard work and dedication failed to drew the attention of the Government towards their genuine demand of regularization.
Pertinently, a delegation of paramedical staff approached JKPCC president in Srinagar and sought his intervention to resolve their genuine issue of regularization. “The paramedical staff was giving their best to health sector while having worked tirelessly during 2014 floods, 2016 turmoil and post August 5 2019 especially the current covid crisis, but despite that the Government seems unmoved on the long pending issue of their regularization,” Mir said.
Government has neither any job policy for unemployed youth nor regularization policy for already employed people in health and other sectors in J&K, Mir added and urged the Government to come clean on regularization policy of paramedical staff and other employees working in different departments.
Stating that recently a paramedical employee Pawan Kumar had expired due to covid-19 while discharging his legitimate duties in Covid Ward in GMC Jammu, JKPCC president slammed the Government over not compensating his family.
