Srinagar: Jammu and
Kashmir government employees across Kashmir Valley began a two-day
strike Tuesday to press the state government for the
implementation of their demands.
Except for the civil secretariat in Srinagar where work remained
unaffected, almost all other government offices in the Valley wore
a deserted look because the employees stayed away from work.
Besides the state government offices, work in most of the schools
in Kashmir was adversely affected by Tuesday's strike which was
also joined by teachers.
Jammu and Kashmir has around 45 lakh government employees who are
agitating for enhancement in their retirement age from the
existing 58 to 60 years, regularization of ad-hoc and daily wage
employees, removal of pay anomalies and increase in the emoluments
of Anganwadi workers.
The state government had constituted a committee headed by Jammu
and Kashmir chief secretary Madhav Lal to make recommendations on
the employees' demands to the government.
After deliberations with the employees, the committee has
submitted its report and the same is now likely to come up for
discussion by the cabinet sub-committee whose recommendations
would finally be taken up for consideration by the state cabinet.
