JAMMU, Aug 6: Employees of the Jammu and Kashmir have served one month’s ultimatum to government to solve their issue or they will start new agitation.
“For the second day today, almost all government offices, PSUs and Corporations remained closed thereby paralysing the state administration," senior leader of Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) of J&K Government employees, Ram Kumar said.
It is a token strike to protest against the State government's delay tactics over agreed demands of grant of sixth pay commission arrears, increase in retirement age from 58 to 60 years besides others.
JCC is a conglomeration of over 50 different associations, federations, unions and organisations of various departments and PSUs in the state.
"We want the State government to concede the much delayed demands of grant of sixth pay commission arrears, enhancement of retirement age from 58 to 60 years, regularisation of various contractual and daily wage employees," Kumar said.
There are over 4.5 lakh government employees apart from employees of various corporations, PSUs and autonomous bodies in Jammu and Kashmir.
Reiterating their demand for the initiating the process to regularize the daily rated workers who have completed seven years of service after 1994, another leader Babu Hussain Malik said, “In February 2009 government had announced on the floor of the house about their regularization and on May 14 2010 cabinet sub-committee had declared that orders will be issued within 15 days, but nothing has been done so far”.
Lambasting the arrogant attitude of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Amrik Singh condemned the silence maintained by Omar which had totally failed to address their issues
“It seems present regime is totally apathetic towards the problems of the workers who were promised all their issues will be solved. But in turn employees are being provoked by the workers”, Ram Kumar Sharma said.
Sharma said that JCC has already rejected the roadmap of the state government for the release of 6th Pay Commission arrears. “We want that they should release the arrears in two equal installments as per the central government pattern in favour of employees and pensioners”, he said
