SRINAGAR, May 31: Former Cabinet Minister in PDP-BJP Government and founder Dogra Swabhiman Sangathan, Choudhary Lal Singh today lashed out at Jammu and Kashmir Government over its move of disengaging nursing staff and 45 media professionals working at Department of Information and Public Relations (DIPR).
“It is very strange and unfortunate that during the height of pandemic, Jammu and Kashmir initially terminated services of nursing and paramedical staff when they were highly needed,” he said in a statement issued here, today. “Now the Government has issued termination of services of 45 young media professionals-who worked very diligently in last five years,” Singh said.
He termed the Government’s order of disengaging 45 media communication professionals as “arbitrary and unfortunate-urging Lieutenant Governor, GC Murmu to review the order.
“LG should revisit its arbitrary order in which 45 mass communication professionals of Department of Information and Public Relations (DIPR) have been unceremoniously disengaged after serving the Government for five-long years,” Singh said.
Singh said that amid the Covid-19 crisis, when the possibility of new employment was highly bleak, the Jammu and Kashmir Government’s disengagement order of 45 media professionals has come as a shocker. He said these young employees-who have been serving the Department of Information and Public Relations for the last five years haven’t been left with any option-instead Government has pushed them to the wall.
