JAMMU, Apr 1: All J&K PHE ITI Trained and CP Workers Association held a crucial meeting at Press Club, here today.
The meeting was chaired by Tanveer Hussain, President of the Association. The said meeting was to discuss the delay in the implementation of SRO 520, pending wages and various other issues.
The meeting was attended by various division/district presidents and general secretaries along with the central committee including Deepak Gupta (Vice President), Subhash Rakwal (General Secretary), Bhanu Partap and Sanjeev Thakur.
Addressing the gathering, Tanveer said that the Government had announced SRO 520 for our regularization but its implementation is delayed because of the reasons better known to them.
He said that Government need to speed up the process of verification of daily wagers and should fulfill its promise of starting regularization from April 1, 2018.
He said the wages of workers are not been paid since last many months and PHE daily wagers are struggling very hard to meet their both ends, adding that the Government should immediately release all the pending wages of the daily wagers without any delay.
He further said that those who are left out from the Aadhaar based biometric data should also be enlisted immediately so that no one should be left out.
He demanded that Government should consider their demand of including DA and other various benefits in the SRO 520.
“The department is trying to harass the workers on the name of vouchers, education qualification and maximum age factor. It was clearly written in SRO 520 that relaxations can be given but some officers are pressuring and harassing our workers unnecessarily,” Tanveer added.
He said that association unanimously decided that if the Government fails to address our issues within two weeks, it will hold a massive protest rally on April 16, 2018 at Chief Engineer’s Office, Jammu.
He warned the Government that if it tried to play with the daily wagers, they will be left with no option than to shut the water supply in coming season.
