Jammu, June 27: Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary on Saturday said the NC-led government is committed to phased regularisation of all eligible ad-hoc and daily-wage employees.

Addressing a gathering at Surankote in Poonch district, DyCM said the government is also committed to equitable development, with special focus on remote and underserved regions like Pir Panjal.
"The Omar Abdullah government is committed to regularise all eligible ad-hoc and daily-wager employees in a phased manner. The government is dedicated to fulfilling its promises and ensuring justice for the workforce," Choudhary said.
He said the government is prioritising the strengthening of road infrastructure across districts and assured that Surankote would receive its due share of developmental projects. In this regard, the deputy chief minister also approved a vital road project to improve connectivity in the area.
Calling Surankote one of the most remote regions of Poonch, Choudhury said the outreach programme was organised there instead of the district headquarters to ensure that governance reaches people living in far-flung areas.
He said the NC-led government is bringing services to people's doorsteps by interacting with citizens and listening to their concerns.
Along with provincial president Ratan Lal Gupta, Choudhury met local National Conference (NC) functionaries, including block and district presidents, members of the women's and youth wings, to receive feedback on local issues.
He said several public grievances relating to rural development, public utilities, education, health and drinking water were brought to his notice during the interactions.
Choudhary also urged party workers to gear up for the upcoming panchayat and urban local bodies elections.
