Srinagar Sept 30 (KNS) The Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) has drawn the attention of the Govt to the issue of regularization of services of Paramedical staff.
The Party flayed the Govt for step-motherly treatment to paramedical staff and sought regularization of their services.
According to statement issued to KNS, the J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President G.A. Mir has expressed serious concern over the step-motherly attitude meted out to 1200 Paramedical staff working in Govt Medical Colleges and its Associated Hospitals of Srinagar/Jammu and urged the Govt to regularize them under SRO 384 of 2009 followed by 409 of 2013 on academic arrangements.
Mir said Paramedical staff including staff nurses/pharmacists/ etc were working for last 10 years without any break on clear vacancies, besides they have been selected through proper selection process, as per the norms laid down by the Govt, but it was unfortunate to observe that their hard work and dedication failed to drew the attention of the Govt towards their genuine demand of regularization.
Pertinently, a delegation of Paramedical staff approached JKPCC President in Srinagar and sought his intervention to resolve their genuine issue of regularization.
They (Paramedical Staff) were giving their best to health sector while having worked tirelessly during 2014 floods, 2016 turmoil and post August 5 2019 especially the current covid crisis, but despite that the Govt seems unmoved about the long pending issue of their regularization, which has to be addressed, at right earnest, G.A. Mir said.
Govt has neither any job policy for unemployed youth nor regularization for already employed people in health and other sectors in J&K and hit out at the Govt for failing to address their genuine concerns, G.A. Mir added and urged the Govt to come clean on regularization policy of Paramedical Staff and other employees working in different departments.
PCC President said recently a Paramedical employee Pawan Kumar have expired due to covid-19 while discharging his legitimate duties in Covid Ward in GMC Jammu and slammed the Govt over not compensating his family.(KNS)
