Jammu, March 19:
J&K Civil Engineering Association held an extra ordinary Executive Council Meeting at its head office in Engineering complex in which among other issue, the stagnation of Engineers at all ranks in JAL-SHAKTI Department was discussed thread bare. Executive Council expressed disappointment and anguish that on one hand Government of India is stressing to execute the flagship programme of JAL JEEVAN MISSION (HAR GHAR NAL SE JAL) on war footing basis on the other hand additional charges are being handed over to Superintending Engineers, Executive Engineers and Assistant Executive Engineers almost on daily basis. Specific survey done by the Executive Council revealed that almost 40 divisions in JAL-SHAKTI Department await posting of Executive Engineers. While all of these 40 divisions are being managed by additional charges, how can the time bound programs under JJM, AMRUT, SMART CITY, CAPEX, LANGUISHING etc. be achieved in time when an Engineer is overloaded with additional charges.
After threadbare discussion, Executive Council passed a unanimous resolution to approach the LG Administration at all levels highlighting the misery of stagnation in JAL-SHAKTI Department. Immediately the office bearers of JK-CEGA acted upon the resolution passed and wrote to Hon’ble LG UT of J&K, Chief Secretary J&K as well as Commissioner cum Secretary JAL-SHAKTI Department J&K. JK-CEGA requested the LG Administration to take cognizance of the stagnation of Engineers in JSD so that the career progression as well as the timely completion of flagship programmes of Government of India are ensured
