Baramulla, Jun 4 (KNS): The Jammu and Kashmir Teachers Association (JKTA), Baramulla unit, on Tuesday urged the authorities to implement the transfer policy for masters who have completed their prescribed tenure in hard zones, particularly in Uri and Rafiabad areas of the district.
District President JKTA Baramulla, Mushtaq Ahmad Bhat, said a large number of masters posted in Zone 4 areas continue to serve beyond their mandatory tenure despite provisions in the existing transfer policy.
According to the policy, masters posted in Zone 4 are required to serve for two years, he said.
He said the delay in implementing transfers has caused concern among employees awaiting their turn under the policy.
"The transfer policy was framed to ensure fairness, transparency and equal opportunities for employees and should be implemented in its true spirit," Bhat said.
He urged the JKTA leadership to take up the matter with the concerned authorities and seek the immediate transfer of all eligible masters who have completed their prescribed tenure.
Bhat said timely implementation of the policy was necessary to maintain employees' confidence and uphold the principles of justice, transparency and fairness. (KNS).
