Handwara : The Vice President of the Jammu and Kashmir Employees Joint Consultative Committee (EJCC), Pir Nisar, held a press conference today in Handwara, addressing critical issues faced by government employees across the region.
Pir Nisar highlighted significant delays in accessing the General Provident (GP) Fund, urging immediate reforms to streamline the disbursement process. He also raised concerns about the plight of daily wagers and contractual employees, calling for their regularization and timely payment of wages. Improved workplace conditions and resolution of long-standing employee grievances were also emphasized during the conference.
“The EJCC remains committed to safeguarding the rights of government employees and ensuring their concerns are addressed. We appeal to the administration to take swift action on these pressing matters,” Pir Nisar stated.
