Food and Civil Supplies Minister Kunwar Vijay Shah has said that efforts will be made to provide facilities to Warehousing Corporation’s field staff at par with Central Corporation.
He directed to dispose of all cases of deceased employees at the earliest. Kunwar Shah was addressing a function of corporation’s field staff association here on Sunday.
The Minister said that corporation’s field staff is like the cornerstone. Due to them, the corporation has earned profit of `50 crore last year. Referring to rule of one per cent increase, the Food Minister said that it is harming the field staff much.
Efforts will be made to consider this as institutional loss after discussions at the Government level. Under this rule, loss of one quintal of food grains in warehouses is considered as personal loss. Kunwar Shah said that field staff will also be given benefit of weekly off.
The Food Minister said that retirement cases should be prepared one year ago. Corporation’s former Chairman Rajendra Singh Rajput said that increase in storage capacity is one of the priorities of State Government. This target can be achieved only when strength of field staff is increased.
Federation’s Chairman Sandeep Bisariya urged to provide timely benefit of increment and promotion. The field staff provided storage capacity of 85 lakh MT against existing capacity of 12 lakh MT during wheat procurement. Association’s patron JS Rathore also spoke on the occasion. Ajay Shrivastava Neelu and Anil Vajpayee were also present on the occasion.
