Daily wagers of various department are protesting against Government apathy as they have not been paid wages for last 50-60 months. They gheraoed the Chief Engineer of PHE to press for Thier demands.
According to sources, there are more than 50000 daily wagers working in various Departments for last over two decades and 35000 in PHE alone while Government till date has failed to regularise them despite the fact that from time to time the Government had framed policies for regularisation of temporary employees working in its various departments. Earlier a criteria was framed by the Government that the temporary employees as well as daily wagers working in various Government departments will be regularized after seven years of their regular service but this formula too was not applied to these hapless workers who are the main pillars of the Department, sources added.
The previous Government in 2017 announced regularisation of daily wagers under SRO 520 and sought the report from all Heads of Departments urging them to furnish the names of the daily wagers with treasury vouchers of wages drawn by them and their service record etc. However, over the passage of one and a half year now no headway has been made in this regard by the Government. Not to speak of regularization, these hapless employees have not been paid their wages for last five years with the result majority of them are at the verge of starvation.
