A PDP legislator on Wednesday demanded scrapping of SRO 202 and sought the implementation of the 7th pay commission in favour of employees of corporations and autonomous bodies of Jammu and Kashmir government as well.
PDP MLC Muhammad Khurshid Alam on Wednesday in state’s upper house termed the 2015 job policy for the educated youth in the state as “discriminatory” and underscored the need for scarping of the SRO 202.
Alam said it would be utter discrimination with the qualified youth of the state that after being selected by the SSB, they would draw meagre salaries that too when the wages of the daily wagers would be higher than theirs.
“The daily wagers who would be regularized would get more pay than those who are being selected by the recruitment agencies of the state. This is sheer discrimination and needs to be ended by the government,” Alam said while speaking in the legislative council.
He maintained that when 7th pay commission is being implemented in the government departments, “why corporations are being left out?”
Responding to Alam’s assertions in the council, the finance minister Haseeb Drabu stated that the government would consider the ways to address such issues which include SRO 202 and implementation of 7th pay commission to employees working in corporations.
