KATHUA, May 28: Former Legislator from Billawar and DCC president for Kathua, Dr Manohar Lal Sharma today urged upon the Governor Satya Pal Malik to revoke disengagement order of temporary employees.
Expressing his dismay over present Government order to terminate those appointed on adhoc/contractual/consolidated/ temporary basis after 2010 and termed it as snatching the livelihood of thousands of people. Dr Sharma said even after completing more than 10 years of services more than 62000 daily wagers in various departments such as PDD, PHE, Forest etc. are waiting for regularization since long time also, moreover, they are not getting their wages released regularly thus leading them and their families to lead a miserable life and instead of clearing their pending wages and regularizing them, the Governor Administration’s behaved in a dictatorial manner by disengaging daily wagers and other workers.
The DCC leader strongly demanded that Governor must reconsider his decision as the daily wagers and consolidated workers are the lone bread winners of their families. Manohar Lal said that unemployment in the State is all time high and such orders will create further trouble for people. He said if the Government is unable to provide job to the youth, it should at least not snatch from those who are working for the last over 7-8 years.
