JAMMU, Apr 26: General Secretary of Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) Ved Mahajan today said that providing a dignified life to each citizen of the State has been party’s prime focus.
In a statement issued here, Gupta said that good governance on ground in the state of Jammu and Kashmir could be gauged by the fact that the State has become the first in the country to implement the 7th Pay Commission recommendations with disbursement of hiked salaries being done from April this year.
Mahajan said it is indeed historic movement for the State as for the first time in Jammu and Kashmir’s modern history the State employees were accorded their due rights sans any confrontation. “It used to be a norm in the State in the past that whenever the employees were scheduled to get a pay hike during the 5th and 6th pay commissions, they had to hit the streets, face water cannons, lock offices with the leadership in jails. At present, no such thing happened and it indeed has emerged as a positive and worth to hail development,” Mahajan said.
The PDP leader said that despite the limited resources, the State Government led by Mehbooba Mufti fulfilled the promise made to the Government employees about the pay hike. He added that the PDP has been prioritizing its efforts to get the State out of the fiscal and political instability.
Mahajan said that the landmark achievements of the PDP Government since inception are being hailed by one and all not only in the State but also across the country. He added that upliftment of the downtrodden, equitable growth of all regions and proving a dignified life to each citizen of the State has been PDP’s prime focus.
