Due to the 8-day strike of the employees of the Department of Jammu and Kashmir Public Health Engineering (PHE), the drinking water system in the Jammu division has been reduced to a minimum. There is a lot of anger among the employees over the apathetic attitude of the Lt. Governor. He is also sorry that no administration has come to take care of him to address his agonizing demands. On Friday, hundreds of PHE employees gathered outside the Chief Engineer's Office on BC Road under the banner of PHE Employees United Front.

The head of the front, Tanveer Hussain, says that the Governor's administration is not even implementing the pay band of the previous government. In this, Rs. 12 thousand for those working for 10 to 12 years, 15 thousand for those working for 13 to 15 years and 18 thousand rupees for those working for 16 to 25 years, and an agreement has been reached to ensure all. is. The predecessor government has also approved 4500 such cases, but after the government collapsed, the matter is now with the Lt. Governor. Front general secretary Deepak Gupta has warned that if his demands are not met, he will be forced to launch an indefinite strike. Earlier the strike was pushed forward for 72 hours on Wednesday.

Deepening drinking water crisis
The drinking water crisis in Jammu and its outskirts is intensifying due to the strike. The drinking water problem is deepening in the city's military colony, Chhanni Himmat, Bhathidi, Narwal, Old City, Bakshi Nagar, Shakti Nagar, Gandhi Nagar, Last Mor, Domana and other areas of the city. Even the tanker driver of the department is on strike. If the strike lasts for a few more days, people can also take to the streets with water shortage. 'The employees are being cheated'

Tanveer Hussain, head of PHE Employees United Front, says that some employees gave away their land free of putting tubewells, etc. on the temptation to secure jobs in PHE department, but the department did nothing about these employees. There are 65 percent of temporary employees in the state, who have the responsibility of supplying drinking water in the state. These employees have been performing their duties from water supply to all of them for decades. He demanded from the government that he had sanctioned 4500 employees under SRO 520. These employees should be confirmed soon on the basis of seniority.
