JAMMU, May 10: A meeting of All J&K Contractual Lecturers’ Association (JKCLA) was held here at Exhibition Ground under the chairmanship of association president, Arun Bakshi, to discuss their demands.
While addressing the participants, Bakshi said that Government has already passed Civil Services Special Provisions Act 2010 for the regularization of adhoc, contractual and consolidated employees who have complete seven years of service but the case of 10+2 contractual lecturers has not been considered till date. He said that neither 10+2 contractual lecturers have been regularized nor their salaries enhanced.
He further said that a new recruitment policy (repeal of the Act of 2010) has been announced by the Government, according to which all the contractual employees will be regularized after seven years of continuous service. ‘But, what will be the fate of 10+2 contractual lecturers who have been working since 1998 to till date”, he questioned.
Bakshi appealed Chief Minister, Mufti Mohd Sayeed, Deputy Chief Minister, Dr Nirmal Singh, to intervene personally in the matter and solve the problems of 10+2 contractual lecturers like regularization of their services, enhancement of their salaries and non-replacement of contractual lecturers by permanent lecturers till their case for regularization is settled.
He appealed the Government that in the new recruitment policy, the already working contractual lecturers be allowed to continue first and then appoint the new persons on contract.
