Employees’ plea to Govt

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Mar 1: PM’s Package Migrant Employees Forum have appealed the State and Central Governments to shift their posts outside Kashmir till total normalcy is restored in Valley.
The Forum which held a meeting here under the leadership of Shakti Kumar demanded that the terms and conditions on the package be removed.
The Forum said that the migrant employees did not went to Valley for the sake of jobs only but on the assurance of both Central and State Governments that they were seriously looking forward  to return and rehabilitation of migrants with hour and dignity.
It said that most of the employees opted for the job because they were missing their birth land and were determined to serve in the Valley but the Forum expressed concern over the problems faced by the employees after joining their jobs in Valley as there is no proper infrastructure as well as road map for their permanent rehabilitation with dignity and honour and the claims of the Government are totally hollow in this regard.
The Forum termed their posting in Valley a second migration as after over 20 years return to Valley to live they saw no permanent settlement in sight and alleged that female employees were even facing the problems of schooling for their children.
The Forum said these employees are with out accommodations with four to five families sharing one or two rooms. This way the State Government has made a mockery of entire return policy, it added.
