Jalandhar, October 26

A dharna by non-teaching employees of HMV College and DAV College was held under the directions of Private College Non-Teaching Employees Union, Punjab (Aided and Unaided). The union demands were raised by Amarjit Khanna of the HMV unit.

He said their long-pending demands had not been fulfilled by the Punjab Government as non-teaching employees of government colleges had been granted a revised pay grade with effect from December 1, 2011, but the non-teaching employees of aided colleges still await such a notification. He also condemned the attitude of the Punjab Government in this regard.

Raman Behl, president of the HMV Unit, said the notification of the Punjab Government did not bother about their demands but the employees would boycott the Vidhan Sabha elections. He also appealed the government to accept their genuine demands which includes a notification of enhanced medical allowance and house rent with effect from August 1, 2009, leave encashment, implementation of 4:9:14 step up increment, Service Security Act, CCA, rural allowance, pension and gratuity to the aided colleges of the state.

On the occasion, secretary Ravi Maini, Pankaj Jyoti, Manohar Lal, Rajit Uppal, Rajiv Bhatia, Seema K Joshi, Sonia Kumar, Gurjeet Kaur, Bhajno, Saroj Arya, Ram Lubhaya, Rikhi Ram Paul, Indu Bala, Madan Lal, Rajesh Kumar, Rajesh Kanojia, Kewal Krishan, Paras Nath, Doodh Nath, Tej Kumar, Gurdev Virdi, Karam Chand Pathak and Nand Lal were also present.
