JAMMU, Nov 2: All Parties Migrants Coordination Committee (APMCC) chairman, Vinod Pandit today called on Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti regarding the pending issues of migrant employees working in Kashmir valley and unkept promises with them during their strike in Jammu.
Vinod Pandit reminded the Chief Minister about the 10-point charter submitted to her and assurances given to employees which have not been implemented till date.
According to a statement issued by national spokesperson, King C Bharati, Pandit also informed her about the truant attitude of some of the DDOs and DTOs who have refused to entertain the assurances of the Chief Minister regarding the pending salaries, arrears and quashing of suspension and other orders of the PM and non-PM package migrant employees.
Pandit told the Chief Minister that employees had resumed their duties (after July 2016 unrest in which they were directly attacked) only on the assurances of the Chief Minister and Minister of Education that their salaries and arrears till date would be reimbursed immediately and all the suspension, show-cause and other orders would be quashed when they join their duties besides treating them as on duty on the pattern of Valley based employees.
He said that employees were being harassed and facing hardships as their salaries have not been released and their orders and period of absence due to unrest was not being treated as on duty.
Advocate Arun Kandroo, general secretary APMCC said that Pandit tookup the issues vehemently with the CM and stressed on three major points which need urgent and immediate attention to safeguard the employees from harassment and human rights violation which include immediate release of all pending salaries and arrears since July 2016 till date, accommodation to all, regular salaries on time in future, quashing of all show-cause notices and suspensions etc and treating them as on duty since July 2016 through an official Government order on the pattern of Patwari agitation and Valley based employees who also could not join their duties for several months during agitation.
