Employees of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) Ganderbal district in central kashmir monday demanded regularisation of services while threatened of State-wide strike if Government ‘doesn’t act fast’.
Scores of employees protested against state government’s ‘lack of clear cut policy” for contractual MGNREGA employees.’
The protesting Employees said they have been holding such protests for past many years to seek regularisation of their jobs ‘but the State government was not ready to pay heed to their demands.’
“Government has always betrayed us but this time we have decided to keep protests more forcefully till our demands not met. If the government does not do anything this time, we will intensify our protest in the coming days and will launch state-wide agitation”, protesting employees said.
The employees demanded that government should frame a job policy for their regularisation and should absorb them in newly created Community Development Blocks.
