JAMMU, Dec 18: The long wait to end stagnation in J&K Sports Council could soon end as Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) meeting is likely to be conducted in next 45 days. 

According to the sources, Secretary, Council, Dalip Thusoo taking a serious note of this prolonged delay had issued instructions to move the file from Sports Council office before the Minister for Youth Services and Sports, R S Chib for further development in taking necessary action. 

The officer cadre of Sports Council while welcoming the initiative taken by the Secretary, said that although, it has been delayed too long but it is the good gesture by the Secretary, State sports council who seems to be concerned to mitigate the miseries of Sports Council employees”, said one of the officers of State Sports Council. 

“Everybody in the Sports Council is performing duties in a thorough professional manner and it is our right to get timely promotion for the efforts we put in to hone skills of budding sportspersons of the State”, he added. “Apart from promotion issue, there are some other important matters pertaining to the employees which are also required to be taken up during the forthcoming DPC meeting”, said another officer. 

Earlier, resentment was brewing up among the officials of Council working at various positions who have not been promoted due to alleged inordinate delay in the conduct of DPC. 

The issue was also taken up during the last Standing Committee meeting of Sports Council held under the chairmanship of Sports Minister, R S Chib which was attended by former Secretary, State Sports Council, Kiran Wattal. 

Sources added that during Manoj Pant’s tenure as Secretary Sports Council in 2003 when a State Sports Council Order No 438 of 2003 dated 10-7-2003 was issued regarding transfers, postings and adjustments, the officers posted as I/C were transferred without being elevated as I/C Managers who then expressed strong resentment claiming that during Sheikh Fazal’s stint as Secretary Sports Council in 2000, six Grade-II coaches in different disciplines were elevated to the post of Incharge (I/C) Managers.
