JAMMU, Apr 19: All J&K Stationery and Office Supplies Department Employees Association has urged the State Government to concede long pending demands of the Stationery Department employees.
A meeting of the Association members was held under the chairmanship of president Babu Hussain Malik wherein an appeal was made to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Finance Minister A R Rather and Minister for Stationery & Printing Dr Manohar Lal to consider their demands, which include opening of Stationery depots in newly created districts, amendment in SRO-365, re-organization of the department, removal of pay anomalies of clerical cadre, enhancement of retirement age and medical allowance, merger of 50 percent DA in Basic pay and regularization of daily rated workers.
Babu Hussain said that more than 80 percent posts of Deputy Superintendents and Storekeepers in the District Headquarters are lying vacant due to introduction of draconian SRO-365 ceasing all promotional avenues of the employees, particularly clerical cadre and thereby affecting working of the department.
He said that it was unfortunate that the State Government did not implement the agreements reached out with the employees thus forcing the latter to once again launch an agitation. He also urged the Government to release the pending DA installment from last January month.
The meeting was attended by Seva Ram Rathore, Uday Singh Pathania, Veerji Koul, Dwarka Nath, Dalip Singh, Mohd Shafiq, Kuldeep Kumar, Jatwant Singh, Shavinder Kumar, Dharmveer Singh, Amarjeet Singh, Arvind Kumar, Chandu Lal, Kuldeep Kumar and Pardeep Kumar.
