JAMMU, Dec 15: Stressing upon the Government to address the long pending genuine demands of its employees, CPI (M) State secretary Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami has said negotiations alone could resolve the issues between the Govt and employees.
In a statement issued here today, Tarigami has remarked that any further delay in meeting the employees’ demands like regularization of daily wagers and contractual staff who have completed seven years of service, removal of pay anomalies, increase in remuneration of Rehbar-e-Taleem (ReTs), payment of wages etc of causal labourers, need based labourers and daily wagers, would have adverse implications on the general public.
While referring to his calling attention motion seeking a hike in remuneration of ReTs in reply of which the Government had on March 5, 2012 assured the Legislative Assembly that Rs 3000 would be paid to ReTs w-e-f April 2012, the CPI (M) leader regretted how the authorities in the State take the House at a ride.
Maintaining that any demands put forward by the Government employees who are a part of the system can best be sorted out through mutual dialogue, the Government must shun the confrontational attitude and be responsive to the genuine concerns of its employees and find an amicable settlement of their demands.
“Shrugging off from responsibilities by either sides was against the public interests,” he said while asking the Government to release wages of the need based workers and casual labourers of various Government Departments forthwith. “This hapless lot had been put to tremendous hardships despite toiling hard in pressing circumstances. It is irony of sorts that these workers are not being paid even minimum wages,”.
Calling for regularization of all those daily wagers, casual laborers, contractual and adhoc employees who have completed seven years of service in different departments, the administrative apathy towards their genuine issues was against the ethos of justice and fair play. It was a cruel joke with these youngsters, who have put in now about 10 years service in different departments following their adjustment against clear vacancies are still waiting for regularisation.
