UDHAMPUR, July 6: An emergency meeting of Jammu Kashmir Teachers’Joint Action Committee (JKTJAC ) was held here under the chairmanship of UT President Vinod Sharma for highlighting the demands and issues of the teachers.
While speaking on the occasion, Vinod Sharma said that regularisation of many ReTs was still pending and these teachers are facing a lot of problems mental as well as financial . He demanded the comprehensive transfer policy for 3rd teachers, teachers Grade II and teachers Grade III who are working in the same schools for last more than fifteen years; conversion of left out RRETs to teachers Grade II and teachers Grade III especially in Kashmir province; clearance of SSA salary arrears of RRETs prior to September 2018 and sanction of posts of masters in all the middle schools where posts of Head Teachers exist so that the salary provision of already suffering Head Teachers be settled once for all.
He also demanded the delegation of DDO powers of zone Babey and zone Ghordi of District Udhampur as hundreds of teachers of these zones are without salary for last more than two months and suffering badly.
Vinod Sharma appealed the Principal Secretary School Education, Director School Education Jammu and Director School Education Kashmir to intervene personally and resolve all the issues of the teachers.
The meeting was attended by District President Lekh Raj Parihar, Secretary Sukesh Khajuria, General Secretary Ravinder Singh Rathore, Chief Spokesman Bhushan Khajuria and others.
JKTJAC president also expressed his great concern on the verifications of documents of the teachers as some CEOs/ZEOs are harassing all the teachers on the name of verification in spite of the fact that verifications of the degrees of many teachers have already been done by the department and urged the DSEJ to look into the matter and issue clear-cut directions in this regard.
