EJAC resents delay in regularization of DRWs

Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, Apr 26: Employees Joint Action Committee (EJAC) has expressed strong resentment over the delay being caused by the State Government in regularization of daily rated workers (DRWs) and other temporary employees in the State.
In a meeting of the EJAC held here under the chairmanship of Abdul Qayoom Wani the members discussed the issues of the State and Public Sector employees. All the participating members expressed serious concern over the delay in regularization of daily wagers and other temporary employees.
They resolved to chalk out a strategy to tackle this issue. The meeting described the issue of regularization of daily wagers and temporary employees as a unique one and claimed that EJAC shall utilize all its resources and capacities to solve this issue. Mr Wani alleged that the existing and previous Governments took steps in this regard but every time delayed the issue of regularization deliberately.
He further alleged that politicians every time tried to use the issue of daily wagers, casual labours and temporary employees for their petty interests and tried to snatch their rights for vote bank politics. It has been learnt that new committees are being framed and information is sought from departments although every information and verification sought by GAD and Finance Department is lying with them. It is presumed that this step may cause further delay and politicians may grind their axe by resorting to delaying tactics.
The members urged the State Government that the genuine issue of State employees including pay anomalies, regularisation, financial support to sick public sector units, enhancement of Medical allowance, provision for implementation of 7th Pay Commission in budget 2016 etc be solved without any delay.
