JAMMU, Feb 27: Apni Party president Syed Mohammed Altaf Bukhari has appealed the Government to regularize all the daily wagers serving in various Government Departments of Jammu and Kashmir.
In a statement to the media, Altaf Bukhari said the decision of the Government to regularize 12,000 PDD daily wagers has generated hope among those who served Government for the last two decades.
Bukhari said the Government should also consider the pending demands of all 60,000 daily wagers including ITI trained, CP workers, contractual workers and others engaged in different capacities in J&K Government Departments. “These daily wagers are the backbone of the Govt Departments and kept the Departments working even during the COVID19 lockdown,” he said.
He said that the next kin of the deceased daily wagers who have lost their lives while performing their duty should also be given jobs. Bukhari demanded the Government to consider the regularization demand of the daily wagers and all other types of contractual workers in all the Government Departments without any further delay.
