Jammu, March 01: The long-pending issue of regularization of Daily Wagers engaged in the Public Works, Power Development Department and Public Health Engineering is likely to be placed before the Cabinet in its forthcoming meeting.
The proposed move follows years of protests by thousands of Daily Wagers, Need-Based Workers, Casual Labourers, ITI-trained Helpers and CP Workers who have been serving these key infrastructure departments for periods ranging from 10 to 25 years without formal service status.
These workers play a crucial role in maintaining roads, clearing snow, restoring damaged highways, repairing and maintaining power transmission and distribution networks, and operating rural drinking water supply schemes.
