JAMMU, May 18: The Jammu and Kashmir Employees Joint Action Committee (EJAC) has expressed displeasure and anguish over the delay in regularisation of CIC operators working in Rural Development Department (RDD) for last two decades.
In press statement here today president, EJAC Mohd Rafique Rather said that CIC operators appointed by competent authority through a transparent process have been waiting for the regularisation of their services since last two decades, despite completion of all codal formalities
He said that these operators were appointed by District Level Recruitment Committee headed by concerned Deputy Commissioners and since then they are continuously working in Department of Rural Development Panchayat Raj, J&K on contractual basis on a meager amount of Rs 10,000 as monthly salary, due to which they are facing a lot of hardships in feeding their families and to provide better education to their children.
They are highly qualified having M.Tech, MCA, M.Sc. IT, B.E & B.Tech Degrees and are technically very sound who handle efficiently more than 26 web portals on daily basis of Department of Rural Development & Panchayati Raj. Besides all other office assignments viz-a-viz elections, establishment, accounts, works etc. at Block/District/Directorate/Secretariat level.
EJAC leader said in the year 2014, Jammu & Kashmir Government passed an order in Cabinet to formulate a proposal for the regularization of CIC Operators in the RDD. In the year 2016, the Govt through a Cabinet decision created 172 posts of Data Entry Operators for regularization of CIC Operators vide Govt order No. 320-RD & PR of 2016 dated 14.12.2016. In 2017, the Empowered Committee of J&K Government headed by Principal Secretary, Department of Finance cleared their regularization cases one by one for regularization under J&K Civil Services (Special Provision) Act 2010 and also communicated recommendations to Rural Development Department for issuance of formal regularization order, which are yet to be issued. Even the regularization case has also got clearance from Department of Law , Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, J&K.
Rather urged upon Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and Chief Secretary to intervene into the matter and provide justice to these CIC Operators working in RDD.
