JAMMU, Aug 14: Various deputations today called on MP Gulam Ali Khatana with their demands and sought his intervention in getting them settled.
Gulam Ali Khatana assured the delegations he would take their issues with the relevant authorities to seek constructive solutions.
The MP reaffirmed the Modi Government’s commitment, stating that he would do his utmost to address the issues raised. “Under the leadership of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi and Home Minister, Amit Shah, the NDA Government is fully dedicated to serving its citizens. I assure you that your concerns will not go unheard,” the MP told the deputations.
A deputation of unemployed youth met MP Khatana, with a primary demand for age relaxation in the recruitment process for Jammu and Kashmir Police (JKP) Constables and Sub-Inspectors.
The youth expressed their frustration over the lack of recruitment opportunities over the years, emphasizing that many of them had been preparing rigorously for these positions, only to find themselves disqualified due to age constraints. They sought the intervention of MP in getting age relaxation.
Another deputation comprising members of the National Youth Corps (NYC) sought the regularization of their services. The NYC members, who were engaged on a merit basis back in 2010, stressed that their contributions over the years merit formal recognition through regularization.
The deputation said “We believe our demand for regularization should be fulfilled without further delay”.
Similarly, employees engaged under the Saakshar Bharat Mission, a Government of India initiative aimed at promoting literacy among non-literate adults, also met Khatana to voice their concerns. The deputation demanded the immediate release of their pending wages and the regularization of their services.
During the meetings, Khatana after hearing the demands assured them that their issues would be taken up with the appropriate authorities for prompt resolution.
In addition to the organized deputations, numerous individuals also approached Khatana to seek his support for their personal grievances. The MP reiterated his commitment to addressing the issues faced by his constituents, promising to advocate for their rights and welfare at the highest levels.
