JAMMU, Jan 2: Demanding parity with employees of other civil departments who have been given one month additional salary in lieu of their election duty during Panchayat and Municipal polls in the State, Dr Shazad Malik, educationist from Poonch today urged the State Government to release one month additional salary for the cops of J&K Police (JKP) who performed election duties like other civil departments.
Questioning logic and rationale for excluding Police Department employees from such additional salary, Dr Shazad said, it is painful that these dedicated and brave cops are deprived of their right.
He said being a disciplined force, JKP personnel never speak openly against this injustice and discrimination but how the government can ignore the organization which made so many sacrifices for maintaining peace and ensuing law and order in the State.
He also urged the civil society to recognize the sacrifices made by the brave men of State police fighting terrorists with limited resources.
He also requested Governor and his Advisor in this regard.
