Jammu SEP 1. A monthly meeting of All J&K Plus-2 Lecturers’ Forum was held under the chairmanship of its President Deepak Sharma in which various burning issues pertaining to Plus-2 Cadre were discussed threadbare. Deepak Sharma reiterated demand for Assured Career Progression (ACP)/Time Bound Promotion in favour of Plus Two cadre and alleged step motherly treatment with them by previous governments and flayed dilly dallying tactics of the Govt as Adminstrative committee framed for the purpose has failed to give it’s recommendations and further added that seriousness of the govt. can be gauged from the fact that new committee members have not been designated even after the retirement of two of the committee members for more than three months. Referring to Chief Secretary’s direction, for time bound report submission of all Adminstrative committes, Forum demanded fixing of responsibility for this inordinate delay and urged Hon’ble Governor for his personal intervention to grant sanction to Assured Career Progression Scheme ( ACP) to remove age long stagnation as they have suffered a lot for want of Running Grade/Time Bound promotion otherwise they will be left with no other option than adapting agitational path. Forum also assailed govt for failing to complete Regularisation process of all Incharge officers of Education Deptt inspite of SAC decision and demanded vigorously following up of subjudice cases to facilitate Regularisation process and release of list of Senior Lecturers as per 1/3rd cadre strength. Deepak Sharma appealed all those lecturers responsible for stalling Regularisation process and placement of Senior lecturers by way of litigation, to represent their grievances at Adminstrative level for resolution otherwise coming generation will never forgive them.
