JAMMU, Jan 28: DDC Member Suchetgarh Taranjit Singh Tony today raised the burning issue of daily wagers who are lurching for their genuine rights since the last so many years.
In a statement issued here, Tony said that the Government, despite giving assurances to the daily wager community, has done nothing to bail out this unfortunate segment of workers from the years’ long misery. He said that leaving aside the issue of regularization, this hapless segment of society has been victimized by denying the monthly remuneration for months together leaving the workers and their poor families on the mercy of God because under prevailing record breaking inflation, sustaining livelihood without pay and perk is next to impossible.
He said that the Government cannot marginalize the daily workers who toil much harder than the permanent employees. “Denying timely pay and keeping them in dark on the issue of regularization is nothing but sheer injustice, therefore, the Government should immediately take up this matter and ensure that the pending dues are released as soon as possible and the process of releasing the perks is streamlined so that no daily wager or his or her family should suffer or starve”, he said adding that BJP Government had assured that it will ensure the regularization of daily wagers on priority but like all other promises this one also proved out to be a big ‘Jumla’ of Saffron party.
He urged LG Manoj Sinha to intervene and look into the matter with a sympathetic view because the daily wagers are passing through a real difficult time.
