State President Singh said, we had sought permission 15 days ago to do Jal Satyagraha in a Gandhian way regarding the main demands, which was cancelled late last night. This is a violation of the rights of the employees. Outsourced employees have been pleading with the government for a long time regarding their demands. We are being suppressed. We have legitimate demands.
President Singh said, some of our colleagues reached the CM House with the police. After giving the memorandum, we left from there. Now we will make further strategies.
The demonstration was regarding the demands which were that all employees should be regularized on the vacant posts in the department.
A policy should be made for support staff, data entry operator, ward boy, aaya, sweeper, security guard, oxygen technician and all other outsourced employees and they should be given a minimum salary of 21 thousand rupees.
The government gives a budget of Rs 16132 per month for outsourced employees, but due to the commission of officers and outsourced companies, only Rs 5500 to Rs 9000 are being given. Action should be taken on this.
In many districts of the state, salary has not been paid for 3-4 months. Due to this, the financial condition of the employees is deteriorating. This salary should be given soon.
Corruption worth crores of rupees is being done by officers and outsourced agencies, it should be stopped.
