SRINAGAR: Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) today urged upon the UT Administration to address the issues pertaining to thousands of daily wagers and casual labourers in the UT on priority.
Peer Bilal, Senior DPAP leader, said the issue of more than 60 thousand daily wagers and casual labourers has been taking toll in the state and has not suffered these aggrieved works alone but also their families including children.
He added that the high power committee headed by then Chief Secretary has already laid down the comprehensive roadmap for the regularization of the daily wagers and that the administration instead of adopting confrontational attitude with the already perturbed daily wagers should work for the resolution of their issues on humanitarian grounds.
Peer Bilal said that it was ironic that these workers who are working tirelessly on meagre wages are even denied the remuneration for months. He appealed the UT Government to address the issue without further delay so that the daily wagers and casual workers engaged in various Government Departments could work earnestly for smooth functioning of the state machinery and also their families too, could heave a sigh of relief.
