JAMMU, Dec 6: Power Employees and Engineers under the banner of JKPEECC, an amalgam comprising of various Unions of PDD led by Sachin Tickoo, president JKEEGA and Convenor PEECC, Jaipal Sharma, Chairman JKPEECC and president DEA, Ashok Dubey vice president JKEEGA and others in a meeting here today expressed strong resentment over the non redressal of the agreed issues between JK UT Government representatives and JKPEECC on t Dec 21, 2021 despite a lapse of year since then.
The members of Coordination Committee impressed upon the Government to issue a white paper on the progress of the enlisted issues of the agreement in the Public domain so that common masses are aware that till most of the issues as per agreement are lying unresolved causing grave discontentment among the masses.
Speaking on the occasion the coordination committee leaders strongly resented the fact that the Departmental Promotion committee meetings are not being held regularly and thousands are posts are lying vacant in Executive and ministerial cadres, the DPC of Tech-III who are stagnated since last 24 years is still a distant dream, only 200 daily wagers could get regularized in the whole year despite formal announcement by Government that 12,000 daily wagers of PDD shall be regularized. Despite creation of the posts of the CPAO/AOs none of them have been deputed to the Corporations overburdening the existing CPAOs and affecting the management of the Finance related matters of the twenty thousand employees.
Re-Constitution of PDD Employees Welfare Fund Disbursement Committee has not been done till date , despite the fact that the employees own salary contribution of over 5 crores is lying with the department and next to kin of deceased are still suffering.
Further, at present there are nearly 300 posts of JE, 150 of AEs, 100 of AEE, 25 of XEn, 17- SEs, 4 CEs and 3 Executive Director, 2-MDs which are lying vacant since months thereby badly affecting the administrative efficiency as one Engineer is manning three charges on additional charge system. The Junior Engineers of 2009 Batch are still awaiting promotions as AEs, whereas their counterparts of even 2015 Batch in PWD/ Jal Shakti Department have been promoted as AEs.
About 20,000 employees of the PDD on deputation to these Corporations are feeling dejected as Government is not serious to resolve the pending issues.
