JAMMU, JAN 07: All Parties Migrants Coordination Committee (APMCC) today listed various pending demands before the government and resolved to get the demands accepted and implemented by the government very soon.
The resolution was adopted by the top APMCC leadership lead by Vinod Pandit, Chairman APMCC and King C Bharati, senior Journalist and National Spokesperson APMCC in a hugely attended Migrant Employees meet organized by APMCC in Jammu on Sunday.
The leaders also apprised the employees about their struggle in getting their pending salaries released and other issues regarding suspensions, show cause notices etc and assured that everybody would get their salaries released upto date and other issues would also be resolved very soon.
Speaking on the occasion Vinod Pandit said that at the time of employment given to Kashmiri Migrants under Prime Ministers Special Recruitment package it was promised that the migrant employees working in Kashmir Valley would be provided with the sufficient and adequate accommodation, but unfortunately only 550 units of (Pre- Fabricated) have been put up till date for more than 3000 employees who are putting up on sharing basis along with their families.
Apart from this additional 3000 posts have to be filled by the government for Kashmiri Pandit’s as a part of Return & Rehabilitation Program and as far as the accommodation of these employees and employees putting up in sharing basis is concerned the Govt must construct more structures at district Anantnag, Srinagar, Kupwara, Baramulla, Pulwama, Shopian etc on war footing basis as soon as possible so that KP employees may feel a sigh of relief.
As far as transit camp Vessu is concerned out of 32 Towers only 3 Towers are complete and work on the said Concrete Flats is going at snail’s pace at Vessu, he said while in Baramulla there is still no facility for regular water and electricity and employees have to get water from far off in vessels.
He further informed that in Mattan 97 employees are residing in just 16 flats comprising of 5-6 families on sharing basis in a single flat thus making a mockery of the return plan for the Pandits.
Deliberating over the other issues King C Bharati said that despite the fact that employees are living on sharing basis in quarters and being a security accommodation some vested interest officials including DDO’s particularly ZEO Devsar, Qaimoh, Kulgam & Qazigund are deducting HRA from the salaries of the employees which is violation of the established law and acts as deterrent to encourage more KPs to return to Valley due to biased administration adding APMCC was committed to get these things resolved immediately.
He said that despite the six years of service of the migrant employees no DPC (District Promotion Committee) meetings were held to promote the migrant employees while their colleagues have been getting regular promotions through DPCs.
Bharati said that APMCC would take up the matter vehemently with the government to treat the period of turmoil from July 2016 to August 2017 as official duty for all the migrant employees and castigated the officers who were hell-bent upon using it as a tool to harass the migrant employees by threatening to enter it as service break in their service books.
He warned that this attempt would not be tolerated by Kashmiri Pandits for which APMCC was ready to initiate fresh struggle.
The APMCC leadership also demanded a Central School (Kendriya Vidhayala) inside the residential campus of the employees for the better future of their children.
Prominent among those who attended the meet include Avtar Krishan Bhat, president Veerwan KP Colony, Baramulla, Representatives from Mattan Camp Ranjan Jyotshi, Sajany Koul from Vessu KP Colony, and other KP colonies of employees in Kashmir. (PTK)
