DODA, Dec 12: All Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh Teachers Federation, affiliated with Akhil Bharatyia Rashtaryia Shakshik Mahasangh, today demanded removal of huge pay anomaly of Teachers and Masters.
Talking to media persons, National Auditor of ABRSM & State President All Jammu Kashmir & Ladakh Teachers Federation, Devraj Thakur said that their counterparts in rest of the Indian Union Territories are far ahead of them in terms of Grade Pay and other service benefits.
He claimed that teachers in all other Union Territories of India are placed in Grade Pays between 4200 to 5000 while as, here in Jammu and Kashmir, the same Teacher is placed in Grade Pay of just 2800 with a huge difference and discrimination.
Thakur alleged that they were being discriminated upon by the Government by not addressing the huge pay anomaly between several cadres in and outside the department.
Thakur said that on with the declaration of the State of Jammu & Kashmir as the Union Territory of India, they were hopeful that the employees of J&K will get all the benefits, allowances and the pay at par with their counterparts in Centre and other UTs but nothing concrete has been done in this regard yet.
AJKLTF leader appealed Lt Governor of J&K Manoj Sinha and members of Pay Anomaly Committee to immediately address the long pending demands of teachers of J&K and bring them at par with Teachers of other UTs of India in respect of pay and grades.
