APMCC raised many burning issues of the PM package employees which include harassment to junior assistants, promotion issues of junior engineers, Inter-district transfers and accommodation to package employees.
The PM package employees are working in Kashmir valley on a special package created exclusively for them and are in a sense ambassadors’ of people to people contact for return of normalcy and final and dignified return of KPs to Valley.
However, there are certain vested interests in the administration who are hell bent on damaging and failing this visionary step of the Government of India by creating unnecessary hurdles in their smooth working under one or the other pretext.
The delegation appealed the LG to call a meeting of the heads of the departments and the Chief Secretary to sort out the issues urgently as it has put the careers of many young Kashmiri migrants at stake besides discouraging other youngsters from joining services in Kashmir valley while bringing the issue of junior assistants harassment before him.
