Srinagar, Jan 3: Employees of Urban Local Bodies today protested against the recent regularisation policy of the Government.
Scores of employees of Urban Local Bodies under the banner of Urban Local Bodies Employees United Forum (ULBEUF) assembled at Partap Park and raised slogans against SRO 520. They said they have been kept away from the benefits of SRO 520 despite delivering their services honestly.
The protesters said the Government has failed to bring thousands of employees who are working in the Urban Local Bodies Kashmir including sweepers, daily wagers, consolidate and casual labours into the ambit of SRO 520.
He said the authorities are least bothered about the problems faced by thousands of employees working in the department. “We do not accept this SRO- 520 and want the Government to consider the job policies that were devised by the earlier governments,” a protester said, adding the policy has unsettled the employees of Urban Local Bodies.
He added that there is no transfer policy, job security, DA benefits, and the wages of some employees are pending since last many months.
