JAMMU, Oct 22: J&K Central Non-Gazetted Electrical Employees Union (CNGEEU) has urged upon the J&K UT Administration to regularize the services of the daily rated workers, release pending wages of 1320 PDL workers and conduct DPC of all the cadres in Jammu Circle.
Addressing press conference here today, senior members of the Union- Gurnam Singh Slathia, Parshotam Sharma, Surjeet Khajuria and others strongly projected the burning issues of the employees and other daily rated/ consolidated workers. They said that PDD was reorganized during 1981 and that too, up to 60 % requirement. Since then, massive expansion in the Department was witnessed but the manpower was not increased as per requirement. Only engagement of daily wagers/ need based workers was done just to run the system. Many workers are even working for the last over 15-20 years. They are needed to be regularized. Many of them from Jammu and Kathua districts are waiting for the regularization even since 1997-98.
They demanded regularization of pending daily wagers, release of the wages 1320 PDL workers, conduct of DPC of all cadre in Jammu, specially SE Jammu Circle of PDD, revocation of anti-employeee decisions of the Government and transfer of all power projects from NHPC to JKSPDC to overcome economic crisis and employment issue.
They further demanded re-organisation of Power Development Department in accordance with the actual requirements, creation and maintenance of running staff for newly commissioned Grid Stations/Power Receiving Stations/ Sub Stations, risk allowance in favour of staff working on risk prone jobs, establishment of training centre for non-technical staff in Jammu, enhance exgratia/ relief for employees and workers of PDD as per new norms, inclusion of PDL/TDL/ Daily wagers into SRO-43 and Power Employees Welfare Fund, implementation of SRO-588 , 59 and 149 and revsion of pay of the lower grades employees.
