JAMMU, June 4: As fresh round of talks between the agitating employees and Jammu University’s negotiation committee of senior officers remained inconclusive, the ongoing strike by the Non-Gazetted Employees Union entered into 24th consecutive day today.
Suspending their work, all the class-IV employees, Casual Labourers and Safai Karamcharis held a protest demonstration and also took out a rally on the campus. They raised slogans for regularization of Casual Labourers and also against the JU administration.
While addressing the protesters, Krishan Chand, president of NGEU, alleged that JU authorities were not in a mood to settle the issue amicably and adopting a casual and negative approach towards their genuine demand thus forcing the employees to go ahead with their strike indefinitely.
He said that the negotiation committee formed by the Vice Chancellor was further compounding the confusion among the employees and it should be dissolved.
The protesting employees were also addressed by senior PDP leader and ex-chairman of JJSF Kuljeet Singh Jamwal who visited the university and extended full support to the class-IV employees.
Vijay Kumar, general secretary NGEU warned that delay in conceding their demands would further aggravate the situation in the Jammu University. He urged the Vice Chancellor to come forward with the positive frame of mind and talk directly to them without any further delay.
