SRINAGAR, Mar 25: The un-employed Industrial Training Institute (ITI) trained Electrician Diploma Holders Association has urged upon the State Government to expedite the process of their engagement as casual labourers in seven departments.
In a statement, the president of the Union while referring to Government Order Number 105 PD of 2010 said that State Cabinet in its meeting on October 25, 2010 had decided to engage 43,000 ITI trained unemployed youth on casual basis in the seven departments. He said the order is yet to be implemented, adding that this has led to mental agony for these trained youth.
“According to the break-up the Power Development Department (PDD) had to adjust 10,000 youth on casual basis, but nothing of that sort happened. The other departments too have failed in this regard and here too the ITI trained but unemployed youth have been left out,” he said.
The president of the Union alleged that four candidates namely Mushtaq Ahmad Mir resident of Rathipora-Tangmarg, Ghulam Ahmad Mir resident of Sultanpora-Baramulla, Abdul Rashid Ganie resident of Kakothail-Baramulla and Sona-ullah Pala resident of Tangmarg-Baramulla were engaged as casual labourers in backdoor under order number ESTT/GB/11/1183-88 dated February 25, 2012.
He demanded stern action against the officers/officials who facilitated the backdoor engagement of the four persons. He appealed Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to step in and order for immediate engagement of ITI trained youth as casual labourers.
