KATHUA, May 17: A meeting of district unit of All J&K Contractual Lecturers’ Association was held at Bhagat Singh Park, where the participants pressed the Government to allow them to continue their services.
The meeting was presided over by district vice-president of the association, Kanchan Bala and was attended by a large number of contractual lecturers.
While speaking on the occasion, Kanchan Bala said that despite serving the Education Department for more than 12 years, Government used to pay deaf ears to their demands. She said that in the year 2010, Government had framed a policy called Civil Services Special Provisions Act 2010 for the regularization of all the ad-hoc, contractual and consolidated employees after seven years of service, but they have been debarred from their rights till date.
Kanchan said that even after the instruction issued by the Education Minister, Naeem Akhtar, the contractual lecturers have not been continued on the same posts, though the termination order issued by the Government is not applicable on them, as they were appointed before the passing of the Civil Services Special Provisions Act 2010.
Alleging that neither they have been regularized nor their salaries enhanced till date, Kanchan appealed the Government to look into the matter seriously and consider them for regularization, and till then they be allowed to continue.
