JAMMU, Feb 14: Rajesh Gupta J&K UT president, National Democratic Party Indian (NDPI) here, today called on K K Sharma, Advisor to Lieutenant Governor and gave a memorandum to him on behalf of SRO 202 employees demanding revoking of SRO 202.
Gupta informed Advisor that the ‘Right to Equality’ which is the democratic right has been shattered deeply by J&K administration. He said they are being exploited by such things. “Employees who were recruited two months before them, are getting about Rs 20, 000 more than them, which is grave injustice with SRO 202 employees as they were recruited through exams conducted by Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission and Jammu and Kashmir State Selection Board,” he added.
He said as per the new recruitment rules, every new appointee shall be entitled to the minimum pay scale along with grade pay (7000-8000) applicable to the post against which he or she is appointed. However, he or she shall be entitled to annual increment and all allowances (HRA, DA, CCA) only after successful completion of his or her five years service on consolidated salary. “Denial of due increment will have a detrimental effect on their service and pension carries which will lead to pay anomaly in the future.
