JAMMU, May 7: JK Employees Joint Action Committee (EJAC) – an amalgam of major trade unions of Jammu and Kashmir, has expressed serious concern over unnecessary delay in disposing of pending SRO-43 cases and called it worst type of red tapism and injustice with the families of employees who have died during service period.
In a strong worded statement, President EJAC, Mohd Rafique Rather said that hundreds of SRO-43 cases are pending in different departments and there is no body to address such cases which has put the dependents of dead employees to starvation and mental trauma.
Rafique Rather said it is unfortunate that the families of employees who have given their lives while serving the people, are made to suffer and there seems no end to their sufferings and unfortunately no headway to such a human issue which otherwise deserve a special attention. He said that SRO-43 cases are pending in different departments for years together and Head of the departments have turned their back to such grave and serious human issue citing filmsy grounds and resort to delaying tacts.
Rafique Rather lashed out on concerned head of the departments who have shown casual approach to this issue and have resorted to get the disposal of these cases delayed for years together. He warned that EJAC will hit the roads to highlight the sufferings of the families who are waiting for compensate appointments under the said SRO but are denied the legitimate right.
President EJAC urged upon LG Manoj Sinha and Chief Secretary Dr A K Mehta to personally intervene into this human and grave issue and provide justice to these families which are living a miserable life.
Rather expressed hope that Government of JK will seek the details of all pending SRO-43 cases and dispose of all cases on priority in view of humanitarian aspect attached to it.
