‘Govt will announce roadmap for regularisation of daily wagers’

Jammu, Feb 6: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday said that a structured and phased roadmap for regularisation of daily wagers will be announced in the coming period.
Speaking in the Legislative Assembly during the presentation of budget for 2026-27, the CM, said the Government is committed to finding a just and humane resolution to this long-pending issue.
“I assure this House that my Government is committed to finding a just and humane resolution to this long-pending issue, and based on the recommendations of the committee, a structured and phased roadmap for regularisation will be announced in the coming period,” he said.
The CM said his government is fully conscious of the longstanding aspirations of daily rated, casual and temporary workers, who have served the administration for years under difficult conditions and with limited job security.
“Last year, a high-level committee was constituted to examine all legal, financial and administrative aspects of regularisation of daily rated workers, so that a fair, transparent and sustainable policy framework could be evolved,” he said.
He said their objective is to ensure that those who have devoted the prime years of their lives to public service are given dignity, security and a stable future, within the framework of law and fiscal responsibility. (KNO)
