Srinagar, Jun 11 (KNO): The policy unveiled by the Jammu & Kashmir government in 2017 for regular engagement of casual, seasonal and other workers is under examination.

The Finance department has communicated to the R&B department that SRO-520 is under review on advice of the Law department.

Under the policy, the casual, seasonal and other workers were entitled to monthly remuneration ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 24,000, provided that their period of engagement is above 10 years and they possess minimum educational qualification of 8th standard or above. The policy categorized the workers as skilled and unskilled for remuneration and other benefits. It was applicable to casual labourers, daily-rated workers, seasonal workers, ITI-trained workers and left-out adhoc/contractual/consolidated workers who had failed to fulfill the eligibility criteria prescribed under the J&K civil services (special provision) Act, 2010.

The empowered committee never met after January 2019, dashing hopes of thousands of daily-wagers working in different government departments—(KNO)
