JAMMU, Jan 23: National Mazdoor Conference (NMC) today demanded the allotment of a separate wage head in each department of the State Government so that 61,000 daily rated workers working there may get their monthly salary on regular basis.
Addressing a well attended meeting of NMC activists here, NMC president, Subhash Shastri said under the budgetary provisions the interim measure would go a long way to address their financial problems in view of sharp increase in the prices of essential commodities and inflation. He added that the daily wagers had not been paid wages for the last many years and their services have not been regularized so far.
Shastri appealed Governor NN Vohra to settle the long-pending demand of daily wagers for the regularization of their services adding that matter of the regularization of these daily rated workers for the last 21 years has not been settled yet.
Stressing on the need for release of 6 percent DA installment for employees and pensioners, Shastri urged Governor to announce and release the same at the earliest.
