PHE ITI trained CP workers stage protest, demand regularization

Srinagar, Mar 28: All J&K PHE ITI Trained CP Workers’ Association Monday held a protest in Srinagar demanding regularization and release of pending salaries of all the daily wagers.
The protesting workers led by EJAC President Shabnam Fayaz assembled at Press Enclave Srinagar to highlight their demands.
Raising slogans in support of their demands, particularly of the regularization of jobs, the protesting workers criticized the higher authorities for not releasing their wages for the last about 8 months.
They alleged that neither the Government completed the process of their regularization nor it released the wages of the workers despite repeated assurances by the authorities. They alleged that their families have been left to starvation. Even they are unable to pay the school fees for their children and feed them.
“We had high expectations from the LG but his administration has also turned a deaf ear towards our plight, they added. They pointed out that files of about 4500 daily rated workers are gathering dust in Civil Secretariat but Government is taking no decision on their regularization.
They appealed LG Manoj Sinha to address their long-pending issue on humanitarian grounds. (KNT)
