JAMMU, Dec 20: While conducting grievance redressal here, today, Kavinder Gupta, former Dy Chief Minister called for immediate undoing of stalemate regarding Village Defence Groups (VDGs) in J&K.
He was apprehensive of the conduct of some officers of the police who are trying to create a stalemate between the VDC SPOs and members in the last few years. And once the issue has been settled by Bharat Sarkar and agreed to, in letter and spirit, by UT dispensation too, JK police should implement the decision without further delay.
Kavinder praises for the landmark steps which have been taken by VDCs in J&K for freeing it from the clutches of millitancy.
Ranbir Singh Pathania, former MLA and J&K BJP spokesperson, said that ‘last man in last area’ is the gospel and guiding light of BJP. He called for a missionary approach while dealing with day to day issues of the people. Unlimited funds and developmental initiatives have been unleashed by Bharat Sarkar under dynamic leadership of PM Modi. “We need to ensure that people and rather ‘last man in last row’ gets best out of these schemes/initiatives”.
He said that the youth constitute the very backbone of the human resource of an area. “We need to rectify the errors and slips of the past. These are wounds which have festered for decades and decades should be cured and wiped off by now”. The deputations of selected Junior Statistical Assistants (JSAs), Rehbar-e-Janglaat, NYCs, called on BJP office today.
Rehbar-eJanglats sought to ensure a time bound and sure short regularisation after completion of a specified period. In view of technical nature of duties performed by them and their professional qualifications, it was impressed that they should be regularised in the grade/scale of a ‘forester’.
Selected JSAs pooh-poohed inordinate delay in issuance of appointment orders to them despite their CID verifications and all formalities, their file is being footballed from one table to another thereby increasing their anxiety and impatience.
While supporting their cause, it was called for effective steps to strike out a sense of uncertainty over here.
At the last, it was assured that all means and possibilities shall be explored to ensure that a final, workable solution in line with the settled legal position is reached.
Vikas Choudhary, BJP secretary, was also present.
