UDHAMPUR, July 2: Senior Trade Union leader Som Nath today urged upon the UT Administration led by Lt Governor, G C Murmu to frame a comprehensive policy for the regularisation of daily wagers/ consolidated workers of PHE department.
Speaking in a meeting of the Water Workers (PHE) Employees Association at PHE Complex here today, Som Nath criticised the State PHE authorities for not releasing the wages of the PHE workers for the last about 58 months. He said the workers as well as their families are facing starvation.
The Trade Union leader pointed out that PHE daily wagers/ ITI Diploma holders and consolidated workers are protesting for the last many months but the Government is turning deaf ear towards their plight. They are demanding their regularisation. The Administration must come out with a comprehensive plan and frame policy for their regularization, he added.
Som Nath further said that PHE daily wagers/ consolidated workers are performing their duty regularly but they have been denied their hard earned wages. He alleged that Government has miserably failed to solve the pending issues of the workers. The workers have not even been provided face masks, safety kits, sanitizers etc despite the fact that they are working regularly. He held PHE Divisional office head and other officers responsible for any problem due to Corona virus to the employees and workers.
He also strongly demanded regularisation of CP/ITI/ LC workers, remove shortage of staff in various pumping/ water stations and PHE offices, clear pending SRO-43 cases, conduct DPC of all cadre, increase Medical allowance of workers and change the designation of the employees as per their nature of job. He appealed the workers and employees to remain united for their common cause.
Senior members Vijay Sharma, Dinesh Kesar, Prabhu Lal, Amit Dubey, Karan Singh and Prem Nath also spoke on the occasion.
