‘Regularization of Daily Wagers Under Review’ – Alfaaz – The Words

Srinagar: The General Administration Department (GAD) informed the Legislative Assembly that the issue of regularizing daily wagers, casual labourers and need-based employees in various government departments is under active consideration of a high-level committee headed by the Chief Secretary.

In a written reply, the government said that the committee is examining all administrative, financial and legal aspects related to the regularization process. It added that the Finance Department is also being consulted to assess the fiscal implications.

The GAD further confirmed that 1,00,501 such employees have already been registered through an Aadhaar-based biometric identification system to ensure transparency and eliminate duplication in records.

The government reiterated its commitment to evolve a sustainable and equitable framework for addressing the long-pending demands of casual and daily-rated workers across departments. (CNS)
