JAMMU, Apr 22: The indefinite strike of J&K Employees Provident Fund Staff Welfare Association (JKEPFWA) here today entered day four.
The protesters said that their demands should be fulfilled in a stipulated time frame and a written agreement is to be made with the Association in this regard.
They counted their demands like HR issue (merger of staff from JK EPFO to Central EPFO) as per CAC recommendations; conduction of DPC; release of budget/salary and disposal of SRO-43 cases.
The protesting employees expressed concern over the delay tactics being adopted by the authorities for merger of J&K EPFO employees with Central EPFO.
It was also emphasized that the feeding accounts of the Organisation have been shifted to Central EPFO since November 2019 but the budget/grades of J&K EPFO employees have not been fixed as per their counterparts in Central EPFO.
They further said that the issue of HR, Budget/pension/salary of staff and SRO-43 cases of deceased staff has not been addressed after the lapse of more than two years.
The Association has appealed to the PM Modi and J&K LG to intervene into the matter and decided to continue the strike till the demands are not met.
