Our hearts & prayers go out to the family of Late Deen Wani Sahib who was a life long associate of beloved leader G.M.Shah Sahib. His ideological commitment & earnestness could be gauged by his lifelong association with the party & its struggle.

Wani Sahib was a man of the common people, who worked tirelessly throughout his life for upliftment of poor & the downtrodden. He used his political resources & good offices of the ANC for welfare of comman masses; ensured succor for those who saw no light at the end of the tunnel.

During the tenure of Late Shah as Chief Minister from 1984 to 1986, Wani in a selfless manner opened doors of avenues for all in need irrespective or caste, creed, religion or color. Wani who last served as the Vice President of Awami National Conference through his goodwill endeavours served masses across lengths of erstwhile state. His association with civil society groups & his life long contributions towards welfare of Kashmiri nation would be remembered by generations to come.

Ashai also extended his condolences to ANC Vice President Muzaffar Shah & party over the untimely loss of Wani. Such people are extremely rare to come across in today’s time; political steadfastness & commitment to cause as Late Wani had, is hardly seen now a days”. JK People’s Party top brass extended their solemn condolences with the entire Wani clan and Awami National Conference party over the woebegone untimely passing away of Deen Mohammad Wani. Party leadership prayed for enternal peace of the soul & wished forbearance; strength for the bereaved family.

Sheeban Ashai Slams Delay of 1,400 Promotions in J&K Higher Education Department

Sheeban Ashai

Expressing strong disapproval towards long pending 1400 delinquent promotions in Higher Education Department.

According to a statement, People’s Party Chief Sheeban Ashai censured deliberate attempt to stall career progression of assistant professors. He said, “It is woebegone how teaching community who are the cornerstone of any nation are being subjected to such blatant injustice. Over 1400 Assistant Professors await overdue promotions in J&K colleges, faculty members who were appointed in the years 2016, 2017 are yet to be accorded their first career placement to a higher grade; a promotion due to them nearly five years ago.

According to established norms a PHD qualified assistant professor is eligible for his/her first placement from Grade Pay 6,000 to 7,000 within four years of appointment. For faculty members recruited between 2016-17 batch this placement was due between 2020 & 2021. However only about 200 faculty members have been granted placement leaving behind 1400 others in limbo.

Such a delay has created a snowballing effect on faculty careers. Next placement from Grade Pay 7,000 to 8,000, which many professors are now eligible for, cannot be processed until the first one is formally approved.

Administrative indolence, bureaucratic insouciance has stalled career progression of affected professors. Where in the world is such administrative apathy normalised, questioned JK People’s Party Supremo? He termed it as an attempt to deliberately demotivate professors of higher education department by usurping them of their rightful due. Why can’t we honour merit & hard work; there seems to enough money for Helicopter rides, golf tournament’s, Paris trips—junkets of ministers.

Why does state exchequer only gets burdened when rightful share has to be vouchsafed to hard working citizens? Ashai enjoined the top brass of Higher Education department to celeritous finalise pending placement cases, ensure fair career progression for aggrieved faculty members.(KNS)
