SRINAGAR
Day after JK Patwari Association extended the ongoing strike indefinitely, government on Tuesday issued directives for withholding the salary of the agitating revenue officials. However, Patwaris claimed that there was no such move reported from Jammu province where also the revenue officials are on strike.
In a wireless communiqué issued by Assistant Commissioner (C) with Divisional commissioner Kashmir vide No. DIVCOM/Estt-DPA/C49-PTW/1989 Dtd. 30-04-2013, has directed all treasury officers of Kashmir division not to entertain the salary bills of Patwaries/ Girdawars for the month of April.
“Deputy Commissioners of Kashmir Division shall ensure that the salary of Patwaries/ Girdawars for the Month of April, 2013 is not drawn”, reads the communiqué, a copy of which lies with a local news agency, KNS.
Meanwhile JK Patwari association president Mohammad Yassin Mir told KNS that as per the reports, the order has been issued for Kashmir division only, whereas there wasn’t any such order for Jammu province.
This is in response to
Divisional commisioner kashmirs Order
No.
DIVCOM/Estt-DPA/C49 –
PTW/1989 , DATED
30-04-2013 ,where in all treasurey officers of
kashmir division have been
directed n’t to
entertain salary bills of
Patwaris/ Girdawars for the
month of april . Instead of Talking and
resolving the long pending
issues, the govt is
sleeping in deep slumber .
The financ Minister is
showing callous , indiffedrent and step
motherly attitude in
resolving the issues that
are pending since the time
he took his chair in the
office. If the govt would have been
sincere in his efforts
towards resolving already
conceded demands , we
would n’t have been forced
to strike . The onus is on the govt and Itz they
who are responsible for all
this .
P S
STOPPING the salaries wont
dampen our spirits and we will take this
ongoing strike to its logical
end and get our matters
resolved . Is
anybody listning ??
