Daily Wagers’ Regularisation Humanitarian Issue, Not Just Employment Matter: Parra
Jammu, Mar 30: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader and MLA Pulwama, Waheed-ur-Rehman Para, on Monday described the regularisation of daily wagers as a “humanitarian issue” and urged the government to take immediate steps to address their long-pending demands.
Speaking to reporters outside the assembly, MLA Para said nearly one lakh people were working in essential services, including hospitals, ambulances, the Public Health Engineering (PHE) department, and irrigation, stressing that their services were critical for round-the-clock functioning.
“This is not merely an issue of employment or regularisation, it is a humanitarian concern. These workers have been serving for decades, yet many of them are denied recognition and security,” the PDP legislator said. (KNS)
