Seniority list

Sir,

This is in reference to newsitem ''Teacher meet Director's PO" published on September 10, in which they demanded promotion of teachers to Master grade strictly in accordance to the merit list issued by SSRB at the time of their appointment. In this connection it is submitted that as per J&K civil services (classification control and appeal) rules, the inter seniority of two or more persons appointed to same service, class, category or grade simultaneously will notwithstanding the fact that they may assume the duties of their appointments on different dates by reason of being posted to different station's, be determined in case of those recruited direct except those who do not join their duties when vacancies are offered to them according to the position allowed by and assigned to them in order of merit at the time of competitive examinations or on the basis of merit, ability and physical fitness etc. In case no such examination is held for the purpose of making the selections but in education deptt. in respect of teacher's direct appointment their seniority is fixed according to the date of their joining the institution which is against codel provisions and the same to needs to the set right and the procedure followed in future also.

Ban on polythenes

Sir,

Although the environmental hazards of polythene are a common knowledge as well as a common concern but to curb the use of polythene in our day to day life has not been effectively exercised.

Despite the proactive role played in this matter by the judiciary precious little is done on the ground to curb its use which is rising to alarming proportions everyday. It is a common sight to see the drains of the city clogged with heaps of polythene bags and others disposable material made up of polythenes. The places of tourist importance like Mansar, Patnitop Sanasar, Dansal or place of pilgrimages are littered with polythene disposables. In addition to this the places near marriage halls or hotels etc are also full of polythene heaps. Something has to be done speedily to atleast restrict the use of polythene where it is essential to use it. Civil society has to be effectively made to understand about the environmental hazards of the overuse of polythenes.

Basohli to Haridwar

Sir,

Recently SRTC has started a bus service from Basohli to Haridwar. The step is welcome though long overdue. Basohli is an important outpost of our state which has a unique culture and traditions of its own. In the world of art Basohli has earned an immortal name for itself due to Basohli miniature paintings. Now the huge population of Basohli and its neighbourhood will get a link to the holy pilgrim places of Haridwar, Reshikesh, Badrinath, Kedarnath through this bus service. As Basohli is not linked by train to these pilgrim centres.

Basohli people will be definitely benefitted. SRTC should seriously think about starting similar bus services from Bhaderwah, Kishtwar, Reasi, Poonch etc. so that people who crave to visit these highly revered placed get a chance to visit them without travelling to far off place like Jammu or Katra.

Traffic problem

Sir,

''Traffic problem is very grave in Jammu old city. It is a daily affair to find traffic jams in the bazars of Moti Bazar, Pacca Danga, Jain Bazar, Kanak Mandi etc. Inspite of one way traffic, vehicle are plying two way (both sides). Moreover cars are parked on both sides of busy roads, which creates hurdles in the flow of the traffic completely.

As usual, traffic department is sleeping. I request higher authorities to assess and check the situation personally and take appropriate measures.

Yours etc...
