The delegation demanded regularisation of ReTs as RReTs who have completed five years of their satisfactory services, entertain the enhanced qualifications of ReTs acquired during their services tenure, conversion of undergraduate RReTs as the Tr Grade II and extend them the benefits of 7th Pay Commission, release the salary and 7th Pay Commission arrears in favour of Head Teachers/Masters at the earliest by utilising the vacant posts of RMSA Masters, Head Masters and Lecturers of Jammu Province.
The DSEJ told the delegation that the confirmation of ReTs as the RReTs shall be done within the next two days and the case of undergraduate RReTs into Tr Grade II was in pipeline. Regarding the issue of Head Teachers, the Director assured the delegation that the salary along with the pending arrears shall be released up to the end of this week.
Ganesh Khajuria also took up the issue of controversy arisen due to the order issued by DDC Kishtwar which has hurt the dignity and honour of the teaching community.
