JAMMU, Apr 17: Jammu University Non-Teaching Employees Union has appealed the Vice-Chancellor to suspend working of non-teaching staff and allow them to work from home in view of the prevailing pandemic situation.
In a memorandum submitted to the Vice-Chancellor Prof Manoj Dhar, the Union president Rakesh Chib explained that allowing the non-teaching staff to campus on regular basis will lead the university to become a crowded place thus leaving scope to spread of Covid-19.
“While the other universities are avoiding offline working, JU is trying to be an exceptional by taking the iconoclastic decision of opening it in such a pandemic situation and expecting that all the employees will take care of themselves in the current situation, which is a quite ironical and paradoxical,” he said and urged the VC to revise the earlier order and allow the non-teaching staff to work from home till April 30, 2021.
