Srinagar: Employees Joint Action Committee (EJAC) on Sunday urged the government and the concerned authorities to release all the pending salaries and payments of the employees—both in service as well as retired.
While expressing utmost remorse over the lack of funds at treasuries, President EJAC Fayaz Ahmad Shabnam said that it is high time that the government releases all the pending salaries, wages for in-service employees including all types of temporary workers and daily wagers and also releases all the financial terminal benefits for the retired employees.
He said that the employees have not been able to withdraw their hard earned GP funds since the last three months.
Pertinently, the employees often save this money for the marriage purposes of their kins or other essential jobs like construction purposes and even for educational activities of their children but due to shortage of money, they are become hopeless and are either cancelling their plans or are postponing them.
Shabnam urged the government especially the Chief Secretary and Financial Commissioner, Finance to personally intervene into the matter and release payment from the treasury bills so that the suffering of employees would come to an end.
