JAMMU, Nov 15: All J&K Low Paid Employees Federation (LPEF) has strongly criticized the State Government for ignoring the genuine demands of the State employees and pensioners.
Addressing a largely attended employees’ meeting at Bishnah, president, LPEF, Abdul Majid Khan said, “The State Government led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has deliberately ignored the major demands of the employees, daily wagers and pensioners and thus put them in great inconvenience.
He reiterated the demands of the Federation which include release of two pending DA installments from January and July 2014, payment of balance amount of 6th CPC arrears, revision of minimum daily wages to Rs 300, increase in remuneration and honorarium for village guards, numberdars and others commensurate with rise in price index, regularization of daily wagers and adhoc, contractual and consolidated employees, etc.
These demands are required to be addressed on priority basis but the State Government has maintained cryptic silence over all these demands because of which resentment is brewing among all sections of employees all over the State against the Coalition Government, Khan added.
He also highlighted other demands like enhancement of medical allowance to Rs 1000, removal of pay anomalies of clerical cadre and other employees and raising pension by 20% above after 80 years of age and above on Central Government pattern.
