JAMMU, Aug 25: All J&K SRTC Volunteer Retired Employees Association staged a protest demonstration this morning in front of Press Club, against State SRTC for not clearing their pending dues.
Addressing the protesting VRS employees, general secretary of the Association, 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 alleged that their (VRS and GHS employees’) case for pending dues like COLA arrears, leave salary, gratuity, ex-gratia grant and pending bills was misrepresented before the Finance Department due to which the bills amounting to Rs 30,16,10, 673 have been lying for last three years in the Finance Department.
They strongly criticized the discriminating attitude of SRTC towards VRS and GHS employees and demanded to clear all their pending dues including 31 installments of COLA upto 2010, pending arrears since 1999 and 6th Pay Commission arrears with effect from January 1, 2006.
