Demanding regularisation and enhancement in their salaries, business correspondents working for Jammu and Kashmir Grameen Bank on Wednesday held a protest demonstration at press ennclave.
Scores of these business correspondents (BCs) under the banner of Jammu and Kashmir Grameen Bank Business Correspondents Association assembled at press enclave, Srinagar and held a protest demonstration to press for their demands.
These protestors said that they are working on meager salaries without any job security from last many years.
“We are working from 10 am to 5 pm like regular employees but still we are given a meager salary of Rs 2,000 per month without regularisation putting our future into darkness,” said Abdul Majeed Mir, one of the protesting business correspondents.
“We do every internal and external work of bank from advance management to deposit mobilization but when it comes to our demands, no one cares,” he said.
The protesting bank employees said that it is difficult for them to make both the ends meet on this meager salary. Appealing state government and the centre government for the intervention, these BCs said that they are going to observe indefinite strike from Thursday and won’t go back to work until their demands are not met. There are around 350 BCs working with the Grameen Bank across the state, some of them engaged even a decade ago, they say.
