Srinagar, May 29, 2022 (PPI-OT): In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Rehbar-e-Khel (ReK) teachers under the banner of Employees Joint Action Committee (EJAC) have announced indefinite strike. The ReK employees in its statement issued in Srinagar said that the authorities had recently proposed to de-freeze posts which were frozen for ReK employees at the time of appointment.

“As per previous policy, ReK employees were supposed to serve the probation period of 7 years and after serving the probation period they would be regularised against the vacant posts,” they said.

It added that the authorities formed a committee to find a way to ease the sufferings of ReK employees (reduce probation period and enhancement in salaries) as it was technically next to impossible to survive on a meagre amount of Rs. 3000 per month.

“However, in a recent proposal given by the committee, they have proposed to send the vacant posts to SSRB for fresh advertisement and 50% increase in the salary of current ReK employees which has amazed everyone in Jammu and Kashmir,” it said.
