SAMBA, June 26: Apni Party Provincial President for Jammu and former Minister, Manjit Singh today demanded transfer of reserved category employees who serve in Kashmir Valley to Jammu Division till the security situation improves.
In a statement to the press, Manjit Singh said that the reserved category employees and their families have been passing through a psychologically depressive situation with feeling insecurity at the place of their posting.
“It is this feeling that the reserve category employees are holding protests in Jammu and demanding their transfer to Jammu at their respective districts keeping in view threat perception following the killing of the innocent civilians and Govt employees,” he said.
He said that the reserved category employees were serving in Kashmir’s far flung and rural areas never faced any threat to their lives, but the recent killings of civilians and Govt officials, including Rajni Bala have spread a wave of fear among them. “The situation has become dangerous for the outsiders. Hence, the Govt must order transfer of the reserved category employees to Jammu’s districts till the improvement in security situation,” he demanded.
He said that “These people are unsafe and the Govt must not ignore their demand which is genuine in view of the existing situation in Kashmir. Their demands must be considered on humanitarian ground.”
Manjit Singh demanded that a Govt school or Chowk in Samba District must be named after the martyr Govt Teacher Rajni Bala in honour of her sacrifice.
He also appreciated the Govt for naming the Kulgam’s Govt School after the name of Rajni Bala as a mark of respect. He said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are united and there is no difference in their ideology.
He criticized the anti-national elements for disturbing peace in J&K and targeting the innocent people. In this situation, he said, the Govt should order immediate transfer of all the reserve category people to Jammu at their native districts for further postings. “We cannot put more lives to risk,” he added.
