The Employees Joint Action Committee Jammu Kashmir (EJAC) on Monday urged the Omar Abdullah government to release the pending salaries of employees and wages of all the temporary workers before Eid.
In a statement, EJAC president Fayaz Ahmad Shabnam said the auspicious day of Eid is approaching and yet hundreds of employees and temporary workers are without salaries and wages despite their repeated requests for the release of their earned salaries & wages.
He said these employees have always been on the front line to combat any calamity and non-payment of earned salaries and wages is quite injustice not only with them but with their families as well.
The EJAC President urged the government especially Chief Secretary & the Financial Commissioner of Finance to redress the genuine grievances of the employees and workers by releasing their salaries and wages before Eid so that these employees & workers can heave a sigh of relief & celebrate Eid with their children and families.
Shabnam said they are hopeful that the government would resolve the issue of pending salaries & wages as well as other dues in the larger interests of common good
