Srinagar, Nov 12: The government has established Departmental Grievance Redressal Committees across all administrative departments to resolve employee and worker grievances quickly.

Headed by the Administrative Secretary, each committee will include the Director Finance/Financial Advisor & CAO, Additional/Special Secretary, and a Law Officer as members to examine service matters, review rules, ensure speedy departmental resolutions, and periodically monitor pending cases.
The committee would examine grievances relating to service matters and other employment-related issues of employees/workers of the Department and its subordinate/field offices.
It will examine the grievances in the light of the applicable statutory rules, regulations, Government instructions, Recruitment Rules, sanctioned cadre structure and other relevant provisions.
The committee would identify grievances which can be resolved at the departmental level and take appropriate action for their expeditious disposal.
It will examine cases involving policy, inter-departmental consultation, financial implications or amendment of rules and, wherever required, initiate action for obtaining the approval/concurrence of the competent authority in accordance with the applicable Procedure.
The committee would ensure-that genuine and admissible grievances are not kept pending for want of examination at the appropriate level and to prescribe, wherever feasible, a time-bound mechanism for their disposal and review, periodically, the pendency and status of grievances and issue necessary directions to the concerned subordinate offices/authorities for their early disposal.
