JAMMU, Nov 2: In a meeting of JK Teachers Joint Action Committee (JKTJAC) at Udhampur under the chairmanship of its district president, Lekh Raj Parihar wherein UT president, Vinod Sharma and other representatives of JKTJAC were also present, issues of teachers appointed under ReT scheme were discussed.
On issue of regularization of ReTs whose files are lying in directorates for a long time, Vinod Sharma said no regularization list has been issued by Director School Education Jammu (DSEJ) for the last five months due to which teachers are suffering badly.
Sharma said that some regularization cases are due since 2018 and the affected teachers who were supposed to get full salary after regularization are just getting Rs. 3,000 per month and that too is pending for the last many months.
“Delay in regularization means delay in conversion to Teachers Grade II/III and consequently delay in releasing their several months salary,” he maintained adding that the matter has been brought into the notice of DSEJ many times but nothing fruitful emerged so the teachers are forced to come on roads.
Sharma said that they will hold protest demonstration against the callous approach of authorities after November 15 if regularization list of all the ReTs is not issued by then.
He also demanded revocation of order regarding forced retirement of employees after a certain age and called it clear cut injustice.
Sharma appealed all the organizations of employees to fight jointly against such harassment.
Other demands raised in the meeting were transfer policy in favour of teachers appointed under ReT scheme, DPC of teachers to masters, conversion of Head Teachers posts (SSA) into non plan master posts, release of salary and other arrears of RReTs under SSA prior to September 2018.
Those who attended the meeting were Sukhdev Singh Sumberia, Sham Sharma, Sukesh Khajuria, Ashok Seth, Bhushan Khajuria, Pritam Goswami, Anil Sharma, Som Raj, Anil Khajuria, Ranjit Singh, Parshotam Sharma, Sandeep Sharma, Vipan Sharma, Rajesh Jamwal, Parshant Sharma, Binder Kumar and others.
