There have are more than 200 CIC operators who are working in various departments across J&K. These operators are primarily doing the online works of the departments and were engaged several years ago but have not been regularized to date. The cases of these operators were sent to the concerned higher up several years ago, but their cases continue to linger with no outcome to date.
In the year 2014, the Government passed a cabinet order to formulate a proposal for the regularization of 172 CIC Operators in the Rural Development Department and the year 2016, the J&K Government through its cabinet decision created 172 posts of Data Entry Operators for regularization of services of 172 CIC Operators vide Government Order No. 320-RD & PR of 2016 dated 14-12-2016.
In the year 2017, the Empowered Committee of J&K Government vide its 58th meeting dated 22-03-2017 and 60th meeting dated 12-10-2017 headed by Principal Secretary, Finance Department, J&K cleared our cases for regularization under Special provision Act 2010, but to no avail.
The recommendations were also communicated to the Department of RD&PR by the Finance Department J&K for issuing regularization orders as Data Entry Operators and the file also got consent from Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Department, J&K as well as Advocate General of J&K but to date, the regularization orders have not been issued in their favour for the reasons best known to the authorities concerned.
There is a need to push their file of regularization lying with the GAD and to make sure that they are regularized as they deserve it well. While there are thousands of employees seeking regularization, why can the Government begin with them?
