Kailash Bhagat among others. The engineers had threadbare discussions on the issues of the Junior Engineer cadre .The delegation apprised the Comm. Secretary that Junior engineer cadre though being the backbone of the engineering services has been given step motherly treatment at the hands of the Finance department. The successive pay commissions have degraded the Grade of Junior Engineers and even created further anomalies which have been pending for mere clarifications since last 9 years with the Finance department. The Junior Engineers are paid a meager Rs. 30 month as Field Travel Alllownce for carrying out all inspections, maintenance and upkeep and attending to breakdowns. Since the nature of duties of Junior Engineer is such that he has to be present in the field 24x7, 365/366 days without any holiday. Inspite of clear nature of duties, the department has not yet mooted the proposal for increase of the Field Travel Allowance from current Rs 30 level to atleast Rs 3000 Per month to mitigate the expenses of the travelling in the field and sought the same to be taken up with the finance department. |
