JAMMU, Mar 27: Shiv Sena Jammu and Kashmir chief Manish Sahni today appealed J&K LG Manoj Sinha to regularize CIC operators.
While speaking to media persons at the Party office in Jammu, Manish Sahni said that our MPs are continuously raising their voice on Jammu and Kashmir. He said recently Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi raised in Parliament the issues of regularization of CIC operators and enhancement of their wages.
“Not only this, Priyanka had also demanded immediate relief on the demands of CIC operators posted in Jammu and Kashmir through a letter to Home Minister Amit Shah on February 18,” Sahni said, adding, since 2004, the appointment of CIC operators was done on the basis of merit through district level appointment committees constituted by the J&K Government.
He said in 2016 after completing all the formalities including creation and regularization of posts, 172 Data Entry Operator posts were created for their regularization through a Cabinet decision but after the formation of the Union Territory of J&K on August 5, 2019, the process of their regularization was put on hold.
Sahni asserted that it’s very unfortunate that even after taking the services of these highly qualified youth for 17 years, the sword of unemployment is hanging on them and only a meager salary of Rs 10,000 per month is being given to them. He said that most of these operators have already crossed the upper age limit for any Government job and the process of their regularization is taking years.
The Shiv Sena chief appealed the Lieutenant Governor to regularize these CIC operators and hike their salaries without any further delay. On this occasion, president Mahila wing Meenakshi Chibber, vice president Harsh Kumar Gupta, secretary Balbir Singh, Geeta Lakhotra, president Youth wing Binni Mahajan, Rakesh Handa and Dimple were present.
