JAMMU, Nov 23: Teachers Joint Action Committee (TJAC) has urged upon the Governor’s Administration to solve the salary issue of the teaching community in the State.
In a prèss statement here today, chairman of the TJAC Abdul Qayoom Wani condemned the unnecessary delay being caused in resolving the 7th Pay Commission issue of SSA teachers, head teachers, RMSA masters and head masters and linking of their salaries with state sector besides creation of posts. He said it’s a big question mark on the decision of Governor’s Administration as the Advisor to the Governor Khurshid Ahmad Ganaie along with Commissioner Secretary Education Ajeet Kumar Sahu, Director School Education GN Itoo and Director Samaghra Tufail Ahmad Matoo has publicly announced it before the media recently.
Wani said that despite completion of all legal, departmental and financial aspects, the Govt is unnecessarily adopting delaying tactics in releasing 7th Pay Commission in favour of SSA teachers, RMSA masters, head masters and others. The formal orders with regard to linking of salaries with state sector and creation of posts are yet to be issued.
He said the delay has added to the miseries and worries of the teachers and has made their life miserable. It will also have negative effects on the academic side. Wani said that its very unfortunate that the builders of the nation are without salaries for last four months and are crying for timely release of salaries which is not a demand but a legitimate right.
He said that any more delay in issuing formal orders regarding the linking of salaries with state sector and creation of posts besides releasing of salary from September as per 7th Pay Commission will compel the teaching community to hit the roads again.
Wani said that leaders of Teachers Joint Action Committee of all the three regions are seriously monitoring the situation and are in close touch with each other and have decided to call a meeting of executive body of TJAC at Jammu on November 30 in which members would decide future course of action.
