But it is very unfortunate that the Secretary Technical Education, Javed Khan, ignoring the feeding cadre has sent shocking and wrong message to the State employees of Technical Education particularly ITI sector. The Executive Body of the Employees United front has already brought into the notice of Advisor (G), vide receipt No. PS/Adb(G) 2018/609-R dated 24-07-2018, Chief Secretary, Commissioner /Secretary GAD vide receipt No. GAD/3524 dated 24-07-2018 and Secretary Technical Education through representations about this illegal promotion order and has demanded immediate cancellation of said order.
Since the Govt has not cancelled this illegal promotion till today, therefore, the Executive Body is left with no option except to announce the state wide protest against the illegal promotion order.
General secretary – Karan Singh, Naresh Sharma vice president, Bushan Khajuria- Advisor and Naresh Singh Jamwal – Advisor also spoke on the occasion.
