Dar alleged that Govt has failed to frame a policy despite its declaration on the floor of the J&K Legislative Assembly during last Budget Session. The Govt even failed to issue an SRO on the subject. The indifferent attitude of the Govt and its delaying stance has forced the employees and workers to come out on the roads.
He also condemned the attitude of ICDS authorities for not regularizing Anganwadi workers/ Helpers who have rendered services for more than twenty years in the Social Welfare Department. Even a large number of workers from PDD, PHE, Agriculture, Horticulture, Floriculture, Health department have been ignored, he added.
Dar warned the Government to release the pending wages of the casual/ daily rated workers of various departments as their families are facing starvation. He termed this act of Govt as grave Human Rights violation in the State.
