Srinagar February 28:(KNS) J&K Peoples Conference senior vice president Abdul Gani Vakil has today welcomed the government's decision to regularise 12000 PDD daily wagers and has appealed the government to take a empathic view of other daily wagers as well serving in various departments of the government.
In a statement, Abdul Gani Vakil said this decision has secured livelihoods of thousands of families of daily wagers who have been demanding regularisation since a long time.
"It is a welcome step. Regularisation has been a long pending demand of the daily wagers serving in different departments. It must be a matter of great satisfaction for not just the regularised employees but their families as well. It is the first step that this administration has taken which has resonated well with the people of Kashmir. If the administration continues to take such people friendly decisions, there is no doubt that it will ease the hardships of the people and encourage them to participate in the next Assembly elections", he added.
Vakil further urged the government to also consider similar demands of daily wagers serving in other departments.
"While the decision of regularising PDD dailywagers is a welcome step, the government must also take an empathetic view of dailywagers and contractual staff engaged in different departments of J&K Government. They have been the mainstay of these departments for a number of decades now. The government must acknowledge and reward their dedication and hardwork by regularising them as a matter of priority", he added.(KNS)
