Vakil seeks regularisation of daily wagers, contractual employees, CIC operators and Anganwari workers

Press Trust of Kashmir | Srinagar : Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Conference Sr. Vice President and Former Minister Abdul Gani Vakil today said the government has failed to announce a comprehensive plan for mitigating the sufferings of daily wagers, casual labourers, CIC operators, anganwari workers, helpers and other classes of appointees working in different departments on an adhoc or contractual basis.

Vakil, while addressing a meeting of party workers in several areas of Rafiabad and Sopore, said that It is unfortunate that despite repeated assurances by the current LG administration and the past governments to regularise daily wagers and contractual employees, no concrete policy decision has been take till date.

“The government is acting as a mute spectator to their sufferings rather than mitigating them. It is the responsibility of the administration to rehabilitate them by restoring their lives and livelihoods, especially as they are making their ends meet on daily earnings,” Vakil added.

He said that the daily wagers serve the people day and night, virtually making the departments functional, but it is unfortunate that these people have been left in the lurch.

The former minister also expressed surprise at how the administration has neglected CIC operators working in RDD by giving a deaf ear to their demands, despite completion of all the codal formalities with regard to regularisation of CIC operators.

Vakil urged the government to take immediate steps to address the grievances of daily wagers, casual labourers, CIC operators, anganwari workers, and helpers and demanded their regularisation as early as possible so that they may get a sigh of relief.

Vakil also visited Tarzoo Sopore today, where one mosque and a few residential houses were burned to ashes due to a fire mishap.

Vakil demanded immediate relief for the victims for the construction of their houses and the supply of free ration during the winter, as the victims have been rendered homeless due to this unfortunate incident.
