JAMMU: Continuing their protest, the agitating contractual lecturers on Thursday flayed government for not paying heed towards their demands.
Carrying banner and raising slogans in support of their demand as well as criticising the State Government, the protesting contractual lecturers held protest near Press Club Jammu.
The protesters included a number of female contractual lecturers, who were also criticising the State Government for its callous attitude towards their genuine demand of regularisation.
They are demanding regularisation as per Civil Services Special Provision Act 2010, which was passed by the State Legislature for regularisation of all the adhoc / contractual / consolidated employees as one time exception.
While addressing the protest demonstration, Arun Bakshi, President of the Contractual Lecturers (10+2) Association, said that despite all the clarifications made by the Divisional Commissioner by communicating to the Administrative Department that the demand of 10+2 Contractual Lecturers was genuine, the State Government did not pay heed to the issue of contractual lecturers who were protesting to get their legitimate demands of regularisation resolved. He said that the hunger strike will continue till their demands are met.
Those who sat on chain hunger strike were Anil Kumar, Zabir Hussain Shah, Reva, Rajni and Shilpa Raina.
