JAMMU, Mar 16: All J&K SRTC Volunteer Retired Employees Association staged a protest demonstration this morning here at Exhibition Ground, against State SRTC for not clearing their pending dues.
Addressing the protesting VRS employees, president, VRS Union, Dev Raj Bali and general secretary, Surinder Singh, said “our own Department is doing injustice with us, as on one hand our services have gone and on the other hand our dues, which were promised to be cleared within 60 days from the date of VRS and GHS, are still pending.”
They strongly criticized the discriminating attitude of SRTC Department towards VRS and GHS employees and demanded to clear all their pending dues including total amount of Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) since 1999, 6th Pay Commission arrears with effect from January 1, 2006 and pension benefits.
