| Govt. forgets daily wagers yet again | | Regularisation remains in limbo | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 18: Last year, the J&K government had announced that more than 60 thousand daily wagers in the state would be regularised by February 2018. However, four months have passed since the deadline and the promised regularisation remains in the limbo.
As per officials who are privy to the entire issued, the regularisation process hasn't been finalized yet and it would take some more time. "The government has to look at the financial aspect of the regularisation. It has to ensure that the regularised daily wagers do not meet the same fate as that of the SSA teachers," the official said.
He said that modalities are still being worked out and there are deliberations going on about how the ad-hoc employees would get absorbed sans any trouble.
Sources within the dispensation further revealed that there has still been no forward movement witnessed vis-a-vis the regularisation of the daily wagers that was promised by the government earlier.
The implementation of the 7th pay commission stole all the limelight, with the aggrieved and non-affluent daily wagers who are 60 thousand in number kept in limbo with not even a single person in the power corridors uttering a word about them.
The sources also said that as it was already assured to the daily wagers that the regularisation process will commence soon after the Budget session of the assembly, it is proving a Herculean task to clear the mess in the initial stage. Several departments have wrongly inducted names of people into the list of the ad-hoc employees in a bid to pave their entry via the backdoor. Such an action has led to the chaos on the ground, with the Finance department busy fixing errors ahead of going ahead with the formulation of a roadmap to regularise the daily wagers in the state.
Reports say that in August last year, the then Finance minister Haseeb Drabu had taken a serious note of the misuse of the official position by some senior officials and had asked for a high-level inquiry into the matter. The government had announced the Adhaar-based attendance of the daily rated employees in order to access their exact number that could pave way for their regularisation of the services, some departments of the state government had allegedly tampered with the process and had adjusted the names of their own people or those who have allegedly greased their palms, in the list of the daily rated employees. The corruption of such a ruthless level has resulted in total chaos as the numbers have begun to alter drastically. Earlier, the number of the daily rated workers engaged mainly in PHE, Irrigation, Flood Control and R&B was estimated to be 60 thousand. After the alleged tampering of the records done by some senior officials of these departments, the number of the daily rated workers has spiked to 96 thousand. |
