Srinagar, July 30: All Jammu and Kashmir Civil Engineering Graduates Association (CEGA) met Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah and briefed him about the problems face by them and the apathy of the administration towards their long pending resolution.
In a statement issued here it said that the delegation representing the civil engineering graduates employed with the State Government from all cadres met CM and informed him that civil engineers promoted on Adhoc basis and were supposed to be regularized within a six months, but were never regularized with commensurate grades even after two decades in most of the cases.
The delegation also informed the CM that some five years back various departments had formulated Human Resource management (HRM) Cells with the purpose to finalize the seniority list of engineers at all levels for conducting Departmental Promotion Committees (DPC) for Adhoc promotions.
“The delegation appealed CM to direct the concerned authorities to expedite the Assured Career Progression (ACP) scheme (running grade) for Gazetted Cadres in engineering services,” the delegation said.
The delegation also demanded that till their regularization, the Adhoc promoted engineers be allowed regular grades at their incumbent positions to allow them the monitory benefits.
“The CM gave a patient hearing and assured early action in the matter,” it said.
