Jammu, May 16: A delegation of All J&K Plus-2 Lecturers’ Forum under the
presidentship of Deepak Sharma called upon Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister, Sh.
Kavinder Gupta and congratulated and felicitated him on assuming charge as New
Deputy Chief Minister of J&K State.
The delegation discussed at length the burning issue of
non-sanctioning of Running Grade/Time Bound Promotion in favour of Plus-2
Lecturers and submitted a memorandum and apprised that absence of the same has
caused worst type of stagnation in the Plus-2 Cadre and has been enjoyed by all
the cadres working in pre-revised scale of 8000-13500 except Lecturers. Deepak
Sharma apprised the Hon’ble Deputy CM that forum has been struggling since long
to achieve the benefit of Running Grade/Time Bound Promotion but same has not
been sanctioned inspite of the fact that there was a budgetary provision for
the same in the shape of Assured Career Progression Scheme (ACP) for all the
Gazetted Cadres including Plus-2 Lecturers. The delegation said that the forum
is happy that the Time Bound Promotion has been sanctioned to KAS and KPS
officers and Assured Career Progression to Engineers, but at the same time
alleged that Govt. has meted out step motherly treatment to Plus-2 Lecturers as
only they have been left out and hoped that ACP would soon be accorded to them
on the analogy of Gazetted Cadre of Engineers i.e. Three Time Bound Promotions
within a span of 20 years of service, though earlier they had applied for three
time bound promotion @7,5 and 5 years.
The delegation sought Hon’ble Deputy CM’s personal intervention
in according sanction to Time Bound Promotion/ACP in favour of Plus-2 Lecturers
and hoped that he would use his good office and impress upon his cabinet
colleagues to eradicate about 24 years of stagnation in a single grade of
lecturers.
Earlier Deepak Sharma informed the delegation that forum is in
constant coordination with their counterparts in Kashmir led by Dr. Manzoor
Ahmed to address this genuine issue.
Others who were part of delegation included N.S. Jamwal, Anil Sharma,
R.S. Slathia, Sanjay Bhagat and Dr. Ashok.
