ITI trained workers are well educated and technically trained having valid ITI diploma in the department.

These workers are fulfilling their duties with honesty and dedication, but are working in the department upon the low salaries.

“It is unfortunate that the Minimum Wages Act has not been implemented in favour of all the temporary employees of Jammu and Kashmir which is already approved by the Supreme Court of India.Regularisation is the genuine right and demand of all the workers which are working in different departments,” she said

Tasleema requested the government to regularise ITI trained casual workers of Jalshakti ( PHE) department on a fast track basis so they can’t suffer more .

“The government should regularise all temporary workers which are working in various departments of Jammu and Kashmir.

We will continue our support for the genuine demands of all types of casual workers in Jammu and Kashmir, till the demand is fulfilled by the government,” Tasleema added.
