J&K EJAC President commends initiative

Srinagar, Mar 16: The President of J&K EJAC Wajahat Hussain Durrani, extends appreciation to the administration of UT Ladakh for its decision to approve the enhancement of minimum wages for daily wagers, need-based workers, and daily-rated workers across different departments.

In a statement, he termed this decision as a significant step towards justice. Durrani emphasized that this issue has long been a humanitarian concern in J&K, with demands for the implementation of the Minimum Wage Act for these workers persisting for over two decades. He called upon the J&K UT administration to issue a similar order for daily wagers, who constitute the backbone of the current public service setup.

Durrani also commended the Ladakh UT administration for enhancing the monthly honorarium for Rehbar e Khail (REK) teachers. He underscores the importance of recognizing the invaluable contributions of REK teachers and applauds UT Ladakh's proactive approach towards improving their welfare.
