State Sainik Kalyan Minister Harak Singh Rawat said that the State Government would take care of the interests of the UPNl employees, who had been outsourced in different offices of Uttarkhand and other States as well.
He reiterated that UPNl employees' interest would be protected with immediate effect.
Opposition said that 15000 employees were working through UPNl. The Minister assured the House that their interest would be taken care of by the State. The Chief Minister Harish Rawat had reiterated that UPNl employees' interests would be protected by the State on November 25, 2014. But nine form education and 39 from Panchayat have been removed so far, they said.
Minister Harak Singh Rawat said that the Cabinet has decided that except in cases of indiscipline, UPNl employees will not be removed from any office.
UPNl earns income from employees, UPNl charge 2.5 per cent on each of its employees who have been working within the State for seven to 15 percent as commission if UPNl outsources outside the state. As we also get benefit so we have reduced our commission in West Bengal where 2500 employees were outsourced by UPNl.
When the Opposition alleged that on January 16, 2015, the State Principal Secretary had issued notification and later March 12, 2015 another order issued regarding UPNl employees' interests. Will the Government ensure UPNl employees' interests and if yes then will you fix the cut- off date, the MlA asked. Minister Rawat said that the Government will implement the order with immediate effect.
