JAMMU AUGUST 08 :–UT President Jammu and Kashmir Teachers Association (JKTA) Bhupinder Singh visited the protesting PHE and MGNREGA employees and extended full support to them.
Bhupinder singh while addressing the gathering said that the daily wagers have been struggling for over two decades for regularisation of their services.
He said that in violation of Minimum Wages Act, daily wagers of the Jal Shakti department get a paltry sum of ₹6,750 a month. Hundreds of them have completed 15 to 25 years of service. Infuriated over ‘unprovoked’ police action, Bhupinder Singh condmned the same. There is no proper transfer and regularisation policy for the employees owing to which the employees are resorting to the indefinite strike.
Bhupinder Singh also extended support to MGNREGA employees and asked the LG administration to concede the demands at an earliest.
