Sir,
This has reference to your recent article ‘SRO 202 violated Minimum Wages Act’. This policy has drawn flak from various quarters since it was implemented on 30th June 2015. This policy also violates article 14, 16 of the Constitution of India, besides article 39 of Directive Principles of State Policy. Moreover, it also violates Apex Court ruling, equal work equal pay. Its five years of probation makes it further controversial which no other state has thereby adding salt to the injuries of the SRO 202 victims. This axe fell on non gazetted emoloyees(except few departments) only who have been recruited mainly through JKSSB against clear available vacancies. These victims are campaining for its revocation from the past eight odd months and have knocked every door to raise this genuine demand before the Government but till date nothing substantial came out. Although, our Finance Minister Dr Haseeb Drabu had assured about some holistic review few months back in the backdrop of the growing protests, there is no official decision yet. SRO 202 is a Cabinet decision and it can go only through a Cabinet decision, therefore I request Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on behalf of the youth of the state to take a lienient view on this senstive issue which is directly releated to the youth of the State on humanitarian ground and come up with a decision in the next Cabinet meeting.
Yours etc….
