Rafiabad November 09 (KNS): Former Minister and Sr. Leader J& K Peoples Conference Abdul Gani Vakil today said the government has failed to announce a comprehensive plan for mitigating the sufferings of daily wagers, casual labourers, anganwari workers, helpers and other classes of appointees working in different departments on an adhoc or contractual basis. It is unfortunate that the current LG administration and the past governments assured them many times to mitigate their sufferings by regularising them, but nothing has been done in this direction till date and the government is acting as a mute spectator to their sufferings rather than mitigating them. "It is the responsibility of the administration to help these poor people in order to rehabilitate them by restoring their lives and livelihoods, especially as they are making their ends meet on daily earnings," Vakil added.
Vakil, while addressing a meeting of party workers in several areas of Rafiabad and Sopore Constituencies which included Marazigund, Sagipora in Rafiabad and Saidpora and Tarzoo in Sopore
Vakil said it is these dailywagers who serve the people day and night, virtually making the departments functional, but it is unfortunate that these people have been left in the lurch.
Vakil urged the government to take immediate steps to address the grievances of daily wagers, casual labourers, Aanganwari workers, and helpers as early as possible so that they may get a sigh of relief .
Besides Others who accompanied Vakil include BDC Chairman G M Mir, Sr. Leaders of PC Fayaz Ahmad Naikoo, Retd. DFO Mushtaq Ahmad Lone, Waheed Abdullah Mir, Zahoor Ahmad and Ghulam Nabi Vijbali.(KNS)
