JAMMU, June 6: J&K Employees Joint Action Committee (EJAC) here today under the chairmanship of Babu Hussain Malik, EJAC President organized a meeting and demanded change in office timing of Government employees.
The EJAC members in the meeting said that office timing in Jammu division should be changed from 10 am – 4:30 pm to 8 am -2 pm or five days a week as is there in Civil Secretariat because there is scorching heat these days and the Government offices lack proper infrastructure.
Other demands of the employees included enhancing of medical allowance to Rs 5000 per month, removal of pay anomaly of clerical cadre, withdrawal of SRO 30 which is allegedly against the interests of daily wagers, contractual workers, need based casual labourers, anganwari workers and helpers etc.
