Hearing the concern of the senior contingency staffs AAPPHE & WSDWU said that “Most of the senior casual labourers are going to superannuate without any benefit from the government. Most of the casual workers are engaged in service for 12 hours towards the interest of the public but they are always overlooked by the government.
As per GoAP guidelines, DPCs must be held every six months, but the PHE&WS department has not taken any positive action till date. We request the department to hold DPCs on an 80:20 basis as already implemented by the GoAP,” the union said.
