Senior Trade Union leader, President EJAC, Fayaz Ahmad Shabnam demanded regularisation and release of genuine pending wages in favour of Contingent Paid Employees of the Education Department who have been serving the department for years.
In a statement issued here, Fayaz Ahmad Shabnam said that these employees are working tirelessly for safeguarding schools on meager wages with which they are not able to make their two ends meet. He said that these employees are the frontline warriors in every calamity that has struck JK and are working on the same parameters and capabilities as that of regular employees.

Fayaz Ahmad Shbnam urged the government to take this matter as of grave concern and take some concrete measures in regularising these employees or at least minimum wages act should be implemented so that these employees who have been suffering since long can have a sigh of relief.
