National Conference on Tuesday expressed dismay over the government order to terminate those appointed on adhoc/contractual/consolidated basis after 2010 saying the move will snatch the livelihood of thousands of employees and brood disenchantment among the youth.
Party’s senior leader, Member parliament elect MuhammadAkbar Lone while censuring the governor administration for the ‘arbitrary’order said, “The state is already faced with dire unemployment. The number ofunemployed youth is soaring with each passing day. The state already lacks inavenues and a viable private sector. The uncertainty and the tumultuoussituation in the state especially in the valley have hit tourism sector.Keeping in view the dismal employment prospect in the state, our youth lookedfor jobs in other parts of the country, however there too they are battlingawful treatment and targeted violence at the hands of unruly mobs. Given thefact that every single window of opportunity has been closed for our youth, itis the government sectors of the state that accommodated a good number of ouryouth. However the recent order of terminating the services of thousands ofcontractual and adhoc employees will add to the miseries of our youth.”
“The move will brood disenchantment among our youth, theimprudent policies, sheer nepotism of the former BJP-PDP government has alreadydisenchanted our youth. This step will further push thousands of families toduress. Besides that the move will obviously hit work in all the vital departmentsof state ranging from health department to education department,” he said.
Lone further added that the handicraft sector had alreadybeen destroyed by the implementation of GST and that the move of disengagingcontractual and adhoc employees would create a crisis in the state. “This iswhat we have been saying that a few advisors of the governor cannot representthe aspirations of the state,” he said.
