Govt seeks compliance report within month
Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Aug 2: Coming down hard on the employees who got jobs under RBA/ALC categories but didn’t give mandatory services in these areas for seven years, the Government today asked the Administrative Departments to ensure that services of all such employees are mandatorily utilized in these areas.
General Administration Department (GAD) Principal Secretary Manoj Dwivedi has issued directions in this regard to all the Government Departments.
As per Jammu and Kashmir Reservation Act and Rules framed there under, it is mandatory for the Government employees appointed under RBA/ALC category to give service for a minimum of seven years in such areas.
However, the Government has observed that a large number of employees after obtaining benefits of recruitment under RBA/ALC category were not fulfilling the condition of serving in these areas for seven years.
“In the interest of administration and efficient manpower management along with attending needs of the RBA/ALC areas of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, such persons who have been beneficiaries of reservation will furnish an undertaking that they have served in these areas statutorily mandated minimum period of seven years,” the GAD order said.
It added that the undertaking shall be duly authenticated from their service books by the Drawing and Disbursement Officers (DDOs) and furnished to the respective Head of Departments (HoDs).
Further, as per the order, the employees who have not fulfilled the condition and are serving outside RBA/ALC areas shall be identified by the respective HoDs and their details shared with the concerned Administrative Departments.
“This will be done to ensure that the services of employees recruited under RBA/ALC categories are utilized for the mandatory period in these areas as per statutory regulations under Jammu and Kashmir Reservation Act 2004,” the order read.
The Government has asked all the concerned Departments to furnish compliance report in this regard to the General Administration Department within a month’s time positively.
The order said the issuance of such directive had become necessary as many employees after securing jobs under RBA/ALC category had managed posting in other areas without serving in these areas for seven years.
However, with the Government now issuing formal directions, the employees recruited under RBA/ALC categories will have to serve their areas for seven years.
