JAMMU, Nov 6: The Jammu and Kashmir National Trade Union Front (NTUF) has resolved to support protest call given by Government employees, need based/ casual workers and pensioners under united platform at Divisional Commissioner’s office here on November 8.
Addressing press conference here today president of the NTUF, Mohd Gafoor Dar and other trade union leaders Rajinder Kumar, Nazir Ahmed Molvi, Raj Singh and Vikram Jit Singh declared to fully endorse and support the protest programme announced by united platform of Government employees, need based/ casual/ temporary workers and pensions on Tuesday.
Dar said that this protest is being held outside the office of Divisional Commissioner Jammu at Rail Head Complex near Panama Chowk to press the State Government for immediate settlement of the burning demands of the workers like, regularization policy for the casual/ need based/ temporary workers engaged in all the departments after 1994, implementation of 7th Pay Commission report in the State, enhancement of Medical Allowance of Government employees and pensioners etc.
He pointed out that since the Central Govt has implemented the 7th Pay Commission in favour of its employees and pensioners, the State Govt has yet to take a decision on it. He hoped that PDP-BJP Govt would also implement the same before the State employees go for the agitation. He said that Government should also pay the pending wages of the daily wagers/ temporary workers as their families are facing starvation.
These leaders appealed the Government employees, casual / need base and temporary workers and pensioners to assemble in large number at Rail Head Complex near Divisional Commissioner’s office on November 8 for massive protest dharna.
