    Srinagar, Mar 7 (GNS): The Anantnag Patwar Association staged a sit-in protest at Achabal against the administration to press for an early redressal of their demands.

    Talking to GNS, the Patwar Association said they have also been demanding a hike in pay scales for Patwaris, timely departmental promotion of Patwaris and Girdawars, a ban on direct recruitment of Tehsildars, construction of Patwar Khanas, creation of Patwar Halqas and Girdawar circles, timely conduct of DPCs, and an increase in their allowances.

    “We are sitting here under the banner of All Jammu and Kashmir Patwari Association for the seventh consecutive day, to let the government know about our demands. We graduate patwaris have a grade pay issue which the government should consider.”

    “Like other Education and Finance departments have handsome grade pay, and teachers have a grade pay of 2800, while account officers in the finance department have handsome grade pay. Similarly, we graduate Patwaris demand a genuine increase in our grade pay.”

    “The other issue is that Girdawar circle and Pathwar Halqa are the same since the time of Maharaja Hari Singh. As we all are aware, so much development has been done since then we as such demand delimitation of Pathwar Halqa and Girdawar circle,” he said.

    “We would also like to draw the keen interest of the administration towards the direct recruitment of Naib Tehsildars and we demand a 75:25 quota, like the one in vogue in the Union territory of Ladakh. Of the 75%, Girdawars and departmental Patwaris should be promoted to Naib Tehsildar”, he further said.

    Meanwhile CPI (M) leader Mohamad Yousuf Tarigami has also urged the government to redress genuine demands of striking patwaris. “The strike of patwaris has paralysed the working in revenue department”, Tarigami said.

    “The administration has been giving assurances and making promises that their genuine grievances would be redressed, but nothing seems to be happening on ground, forcing them to go on protest. The demands include increase in the grade pay of graduate patwaris, timely departmental promotion of patwaris,girdawaris, rent for Patwar Khanas (Private accommodation), construction of new Patwar Khanas, creation of new patwar halqas and Girdawar circles are all genuine demands, which the must be fulfilled without any further delay”, Tarigami in a statement issued here said.

    He urged that the Government must talk to the representatives of the Association and take effective steps to settle their genuine demands. (GNS)

  • Bhiwani deaths: Hooda seeks prompt action, accused says being framed

    Bhiwani deaths: Hooda seeks prompt action, accused says being framed

    Chandigarh: Haryana’s Leader of Opposition and two-time Chief Minister Bhupinder Hooda on Friday demanded a fair investigation and prompt action into allegations of family members who have accused cow vigilantes associated with the Bajrang Dal, led by Monu Manesar, of killing two men and burning the bodies on charges of cow smuggling.

    “The finding of burnt bodies of two people in Loharu in Bhiwani is a serious issue,” Hooda said in a statement here.

    He said the incident has once again made it clear that there is no such thing as law and order in the state. The government should take cognisance of the matter and conduct a fair investigation and take prompt action.

    Charred remains of both men — Junaid, 35, and Nasir, 28, — were found in a car in Haryana’s Bhiwani. They belonged to Rajasthan’s Bharatpur where families of the deceased sought compensation of Rs 51 lakh and a government job each and refused to perform last rites till their demands were met.

    Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, condemning the killing of Junaid and Nasir, said one accused has been detained in the case and search is on for remaining accused.

    According to the complaint, Junaid and Nasir were abducted from Bharatpur by Bajrang Dal cow vigilantes.

    Mohit Yadav aka Manesar, named in the FIR, has 83,000 followers on Facebook and 2,05,000 subscribers on YouTube. He received a silver play button from YouTube in October last year.

    After a case was registered, Manesar, a member of Cow Protection Task Force hailing from Haryana’s Manesar, claimed that that he’s being framed.

    “This incident is unfortunate. We came to know about this incident from social media. The strictest action should be taken against all the accused in this incident. We are fully prepared to cooperate in the investigation,” Manesar said in a video. He has demanded a CBI inquiry into the matter.

    Manesar has been absconding after a viral video showed him firing rounds in Haryana’s Pataudi, where clashes were reported between two groups last week.
