Grand Mufti Seeks Time-Bound Action On J&K Daily Wagers' Regularisation

Grand Mufti of Jammu & Kashmir Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam has urged the J&K Government to take immediate and compassionate measures to resolve the long-pending demand for regularisation of Daily Wagers.

In a statement issued from Srinagar on Sep 27, Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam called for time-bound action on the issue, saying that thousands of workers have already rendered years of service in various government departments. He said many of them have now crossed the prescribed age limit for fresh recruitment, making their situation more difficult.

The Grand Mufti highlighted the financial difficulties and uncertainty being faced by these workers and their families. He said the government should take their years of service and present circumstances into account while reviewing their demand.

Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam also called for vacant posts to be identified and advertised regularly. He stressed that staff shortages should be addressed through a transparent recruitment process.

He appealed to the government to conduct a time-bound review of the matter and take a lawful, practical and humane decision for eligible Daily Wagers.
