A delegation of the Uttrakhand Public Works Department Computer Operator Union (UPWDCOU) met Assembly Speaker Govind Singh Kunjwal at his residence on Wednesday.
They appraised that 165 computer operators are working with PWD for the last 10-12 years but department has failed to regularised them so they are running between pillar to post for their regularisation. Most of the operators have crossed their 40 years age so they are unable to apply for job in other departments. They appealed speaker to instruct PWD to merge them as junior assistant, assistant data entry operators and recommend state government to increase their emoluments.General Secretary of the UPWDCOU, Abhash Singh said that their demands include computer operators, who have been working in the department for more than 10 years should be incorporated in the post of junior assistant sub-data entry operator and their allowances should be increased upto at least Rs 15, 000 per month.
