JAMMU, Dec 1: School Education Officers Association has demanded a policy for regularization of Incharge Gazetted officers viz Headmasters ZEOs, Lecturers and Principal of School Education Department.
While addressing a press conference, here today, the Association Coordinator Roop Lal said that the School Education officers, promoted in various cadres in the department have suffered very badly without their regularisation as Head Master since 2012 and that of Principals since 2006.

Hoping that the present Government for will look into the matter and issue necessary instructions for their regularization at earliest, the School Education Officers Association appealed to the Lieutenant Governor of J&K Union Territory to regularise all incharge Gazetted Officers on priority basis.
The officers also warned that if their demands are not fulfilled at the earliest, the Association will adopt all the Constitutional and democratic ways to get them regularized.
