Patiala, January 12
Under the banner of ‘Unemployed Joint Morcha Punjab’ organized by the employees related to health and education department to make their demands, the employees gathered here today at Gurdwara Dukh Niwaran Sahib as part of the scheduled program to celebrate ‘Sangharshi Lohri’. Meanwhile, this caravan of master cadre, lecturers, art and craft and multipurpose health workers joined, started marching towards the residence of Health Minister Dr. Balveer Singh on Pasi Road near here. But the already deployed police force stopped them on the side road near the street of the minister’s house. These protestors first staged a dharna here in the bitter cold and then celebrated ‘Sangharshi Lohri’ by blowing the promises made to them by the Punjab government at different times in the form of flames and expressing their protest against the government. Loud slogans were raised against the Punjab government. On this occasion, the leaders of the front, Sukhwinder Singh Dhillwan and Hora, said that although the previous governments were not good, but this government has proved to be worthless among all the governments formed in the history of Punjab. The speakers said that the AAP government, which came to power by promising to make health and education the main issue, has not only made new recruitments in health and education in three years, but the old recruitments are also hanging in the balance. On this occasion, many other leaders including Karamjit Barnala, Virinder Dakounda, Amandeep Kaur, Ramandeep Kaur, Parmeet Kaur, Sandeep Singh and Lalita Rani also presented their views. Sukhwinder Dhillavan said that in his demands, recruitment should be done on all the vacant posts of all subjects of master cadre by giving age limit relaxation. In the canceled 343 posts of lecturers, the vacancies of the remaining subjects should be added, recruitment should be done by relaxing the age limit. The requirement of 55 per cent compulsory marks in graduation imposed in Master Cadre should be removed. The recruitment of 250 open posts of Art and Craft should be completed by taking written paper and the combination of Master Cadre and Lecturer recruitment should be fixed on all the vacant posts of Multi Purpose Health Worker in the Health Department on the basis of recruitment by relaxing the age limit. Demands are included.
