JAMMU, Jan 31: Socialistic Democratic Party (SDP) today asked the Chief Minister to personally look into the problems of watch and ward staff of Chinab Basin Forest Project (CBFP) and issue orders for redressal of their genuine demands.
Addressing a press conference, Dr Darakhshan Andrabi, president, SDP said that these workers are rendering their services in different nurseries of the Project for the last many years, but they have not been paid their earnings since months and years together.
She termed this approach as the gross violation of the labour rights, which has put these worker’s and their families into grave financial troubles.
“While the department has already absorbed the other regular staff of the Project into the Forest Department, the order of absorption in respect of these ground staff was not implemented”, she added.
Among others present were Ajay Kumar, general secretary, Gursagar Singh, State Youth President, Nawaz Ahmad and Ram Raj, representatives of CBPF workers.
