ITANAGAR, Jul 9: The All Arunachal Pradesh Workers Welfare Society (AAPWWS) has submitted a memorandum to Home Minister Mama Natung, seeking immediate intervention for revision of wages and issuance of formal appointment letters to employees working under the Arunachal Pradesh Police Housing & Welfare Corporation Ltd.
Addressing reporters at the Arunachal Press Club here on Thursday, AAPWWS secretary general Karbia Sonam Tara alleged that the Corporation was violating the state's recruitment guidelines.
He claimed that around 14 site engineers (civil) and nearly 40 casual employees have been serving the corporation for several years without receiving formal appointment letters or revised wages in accordance with the state government's minimum wage notification.
According to Tara, the absence of appointment letters deprives employees of job security and statutory benefits guaranteed under the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020.
The AAPWWS urged the state government to implement the revised minimum wages, issue appointment letters to all eligible employees, consider promoting experienced site engineers as contractual project engineers, and ensure that salaries and service benefits are provided in accordance with government notifications and applicable labour laws.
