JAMMU, Feb 12: All J&K KGBV Employees Association has threatened to re-launch agitational path to press the State Government for their regularization on the ReT pattern.
Addressing a press conference, here today, the Association State president Mymoona Khan, announced indefinite chain hunger strike from February 16 and warned that if the regularization order of KGBV employees are not issued, they would have no option other than to further intensify their agitation.
“It is shameful, on the part of State Administration that unnecessary delaying tactics in the regularization of KGBV teachers have brought these teachers in mental trauma and they are facing hardships”, she said.
It may be recalled that the State Government had appointed highly qualified female teachers of the Zone on the analogy of ReT pattern . The KGBV teachers of batch 2005 -2006-2007 and some teachers of 2008 were regularized on the same pattern/norms applied for regularization of other ReTs of SSA but unfortunately from June 2013 onwards, their regularization was put at halt for unnecessary reasons.
“KGBV teachers fought tooth & nail for their regularization and several protest demonstrations were held in both regions of the State from June 2013,” she said and claimed that the higher ups of the Department on 23-05-2015 had promised that regularization orders of KGBV teachers would be issued with one month, but no formal orders in this regard were issued till date.
“Now our patience has crossed the limits and difficulties are increasing day by day, so all Jammu and Kashmir KGBV Employees Association has unanimously decided to restart its agitation part once again,” the Association leader announced.
In the Press Conference, the Association leaders fully supported the protest programme of EJAC, head by Abdul Qyoom Wani, on February 13.
The leaders, who accompanied Mymoon Khan, included Jyoti Bandral, Shaheena Akhter, Mehmooda Akhter, Mumtaz Akhter, Shakela Akhter, Bilkesa Akhter, Deepika Sharma, Shama Akhter, Tabssum Ara and others.
