JAMMU, Dec 14: Hailing the decision of the Chief Minister to regularize over 60,000 daily wagers, casual labourers and workers on consolidated basis, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) today said that it is an “unprecedented” administrative measure from any Government which will sufficiently contribute to Chief Minister’s resolve for good governance.
In a statement, party vice president, Mohammad Sartaj Madni said that the resolution of this lurking issue brings relief to thousands of families and saves the career of workers who were faced with uncertainty and were hanging in wilderness from years together.
He said, besides amply empowering the basic structure, the decision comes in as fulfillment of a major electoral promise made by party president, Mehbooba Mufti. PDP has a reason to draw satisfaction from this as thousands of families have been lent well-deserved support and thousands of youth have been relieved of perpetual stress.
Madni said Mehbooba and her Government had to undergo a cumbersome exercise to clear or override legal and financial hurdles to resolve this complex and difficult issue. “It was not an easy baggage to be jettisoned to the advantage of all stake holders and she did it ably,” he added.
He said the casual employment of workers was seen a liability and a feature of misgovernance. The decision for regularization is a big incentive which will benefit both the State as well as the employees.
The PDP vice president said each Department will now have a legitimate manpower, skilled and unskilled to do the grass root work and each worker’s potential will be utilised to improve the quality of the work and functioning of the service, particularly the emergency services .
Madni said Chief Minister has taken series of measures aimed at bringing relief to people and resolving complex issues of governance and political nature. He hoped that her sincere efforts will bring the desired relief on all fronts and PDP’s agenda will see desired accomplishment with public support in tune with its established policies and commitments.
