Concern over transfer of package employees to vulnerable areas

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Mar 14: Former MLC and spokesperson of BJP JK UT, Girdhari Lal Raina expressed pain and concern over unfair and prejudiced deployment of employees recruited under PM’s special package belonging to the minority Hindu community to vulnerable areas from security point of view in Kashmir Valley.
Raina explained that in past few days almost every displaced employee working in Kashmir Division in the Department of School Education has been relocated citing irrational reasons. Most obnoxious and clearly biased is the deployment order issued by the ZEO Qazigund zone of the Education Department on 11-3-2022 deploying some 107 teachers of her zone to ‘claimed’ needy schools, stressed GL Raina. One hundred out of these 107 teachers mentioned in the Annexure to the order belong to the religious minority community and were recruited under PM’s package, he added.
There is visibly a pattern to this deployment across Valley, he added. Former MLC said that the order not only is intimidating in tune but also ignores the general guidelines of placing employees belonging to religious minority communities at non-vulnerable places. The order seems to be issued with a purpose.
Security is concern that can be ignored by only insensitive officers who are bent upon causing harm to these vulnerable employees or with the intention to force them flee Valley for security, he observed.
“I need not to emphasise the fact that Kashmir Valley is again witnessing attacks on soft targets by terrorists. Observing self-restraint, I stop by pointing out that these officers will be held responsible for any harm caused to these vulnerable employees”, he added.
