| State, Union Govt adopting callous approach towards SPOs: Harsh | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, July 11: Alleging highly contemptuous and derisive treatment doled out to the SPOs working in Police Deptt particularly in Jammu region, the Chairman JKNPP and Former Minister Harsh Dev Singh has lambasted both the State and the Union government for their callous approach towards the concerns of such police officials who are performing significant role in the security apparatus of the state.
He said that the anger and disgust among the SPOs had assumed explosive proportions due to the highly indifferent and culpably negligent attitude of the government towards their woes.
"State and central governments had doled out infinite assurances to SPOs including time bound promotions as constables, periodic regularization in regular police establishment, enhancement of remuneration , extension of benefits of SRO 43 etc but all of them proved to be hyperboles, he added.
JKNPP leader Singh regretted that rather than addressing the issues of SPOs as a class, the state govt. last week resorted to the most obnoxious discrimination by regularizing 672 SPOs all from Kashmir region to the utter neglect of Jammu region.
"As per reports 179 SPOs of Kashmir were regularized in first list and 493 in the second list without mentioning a word about the Jammu region SPOs, he said. Harsh Dev Singh warned the Jammu based Ministers to give up their pusillanimity and to assert as the anger of Jammu people had already reached its crescendo.
Mr Singh said that not only the issue of regularization but enhancement of honorarium of SPOs had also been pushed into the oblivion despite repeated announcements. He said that during erstwhile 12th legislative Assembly, the government had categorically announced to enhance the honorarium of SPOs to Rs. 10,000/- which proposal however remained in limbo with the present government pronouncing to restrict it to Rs. 6,000 which too has not fructified. "Despite loud exhortations and repeated promises by state as well as central Ministers, no action has been taken, he said. He said that the present remuneration of Rs. 3000/- was not only volatile of Minimum wages Act but constituted the worst form of Human rights violation in respect of the said police officials who were performing 24X7 duties.
He further demanded adequate payment of ex-gratia to the dependants of SPOs on identical lines and on the analogy of regular constables. He further demanded clearance of all dues and arrears of wages of SPOs and VDC members. |
