JAMMU, Mar 13: All J&K MGNREGA Employees’ Association today threatened of resorting to path of agitation if its demands are not fulfilled by March 19.
Addressing a press conference here today, vice president of the association, Sandeep Kalotra, said that many educated youth have been working as Technical Assistant, GRS, PO, MIS Operator and Account Assistant since 2007 in RDD Department under MGNREGA scheme that too without any job policy.
“We met Abdul Haq Khan (Minister for RDD, Panchayati Raj and Law & Justice) twice and apprised him of our genuine demands. The Minister also agreed to fulfill our demands like framing of job policy, job chart, basic salary with yearly increments, etc but till today no written order has come out in this regard”, Kalotra regretted.
He said that the Government is playing with careers of well qualified youth, as most of them have become over aged, but the association will not allow the Government to spoil the future of these youth. Kalotra said that if Government and RDD Minister failed to fulfill their demands till March 19, then all MGNREGA employees of the State will resort to district level strike from March 20 to 23.
