JAMMU, June 30: National Mazdoor Conference (NMC) has appealed to the Chief Minister to bring required amendments in SRO 64 and take decision in the next Cabinet meeting regarding regularization of all casual, need base, seasonal, contractual and adhoc employees deployed in various Government departments.
This was stated by president of NMC Subash Shastri while addressing Demands Day rally of NMC workers here today.
The aforesaid employees should be regularized before the enforcement of model code of conduct due to ensuing Assembly election in the State likely to be held in few months, he added.
