Dr Darakhshan
Andrabi demands implementation of labour laws in the Doda Forest Division
Socialistic Democratic
Party President Dr Darakhshan Andrabi today addressed a Press Conference in
Jammu loudly raising her voice in favour of the watch and ward staff of the
Chinab Basin Forest Project of Doda. “The
watch and ward staff of the significant forest project has been deprived of
their earned perks for months and years together by the forest department thus
going against their own orders and plans,” said Socialistic Democratic Party President
Dr Darakhshan Andrabi. SDP leaders General Secretary Ajay Kumar and State Youth
President Gursagar Singh accompanied Dr Darakhshan Andrabi during the Press
Briefing along with the Chinab Basin Forest Project Worker’s representatives
Nawaz Ahmad and Ram Raj. Dr Darakhshan said that these workers had been
rendering their services in different nurseries of the Project for the last
many years now but they have not been paid their earnings since months and
years together. Dr Andrabi termed this approach as the gross violation of the
labour rights which has put these worker’s and their families into grave
financial troubles. SDP president expressed her surprise over the
non-implementation of the orders issued by the forest authorities regarding the
absorption of this ground staff into the Forest Department and regularize their
services. “While the department has already absorbed the other regular staff of
the Project into the Forest department, the order of absorption in respect of
these ground staff was not implemented on the reasons understandable to the
common sense,” said Dr Darakhshan. Dr Darakhshan Andrabi said that it was a
gross injustice on the part of the Project authorities to deprive these poor
workers of the wages for so long. SDP President appealed to the Chief Minister
to personally look into the matter and issue orders for the redressal of the
genuine problems of these small workers on humanitarian grounds.
