Press Release:-

An urgent and extraordinary meeting of the Provincial Body of the Food and Supplies Employees Association Kashmir was convened at the Head Office under the (chairmanship) of its President, senior trade union leader and Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Employees Joint Consultative Committee (JKEJCC), Ajaz Khan.
The meeting witnessed the participation of all key provincial office bearers, including Senior Vice President Haji Abdul Qayoom Beigh , Convenor Muneer Phalgaroo , Vice President Shahnawaz Ahangar , General Secretary Ferooz Najar , along with prominent senior office bearers Noor Mohd Bhat , Manzoor Ishbari , Maajid Gulzar, Haji Fida Mohammad, Bilal Pathan, Mukhtar Wani , Afzal Parimoo , Saleem Shah , and District President Srinagar Syed Parvez Raja.
The agenda, presented by the General Secretary, focused on a comprehensive review of long-pending, critical, and genuine issues confronting the employees of the Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Department Kashmir, besides deliberations on strengthening and consolidating the organizational structure of the Association.
After threadbare and exhaustive discussions, the Association expressed deep anguish and serious concern over the persistent neglect and inordinate delay in addressing employees’ legitimate demands. The house unanimously resolved that the following long-pending issues must be addressed immediately and without any further procrastination:
1. Placement of Store Keepers as TSOs in OPG:-
The Association strongly reiterated its long-standing and justified demand for the placement of Store Keepers as Tehsil Supply Officers (TSOs) in their Own Pay and Grade (OPG). It was categorically highlighted that nearly 130 posts of TSOs are lying vacant, creating a grave administrative vacuum at the field level. As a consequence, many TSOs are burdened with additional charges of multiple circles, severely hampering effective supervision of the Public Distribution System (PDS).
The Association warned that such a fragile and overburdened system not only compromises administrative efficiency but also poses a serious risk of irregularities, mismanagement, and misappropriation of public resources. Fixing responsibility in such circumstances becomes extremely difficult. Therefore, to safeguard transparency, accountability, and proper field supervision, immediate placement of eligible Store Keepers as TSOs in OPG is imperative and non-negotiable.
2. Finalisation of MTS Seniority List & Conduct of DPCs
The Association took strong exception to the unjustified delay in the finalisation of the seniority list of MTS employees appointed through SSRB since 2020. This delay is a blatant violation of established service norms and has severely affected the career progression and morale of employees.
The house demanded that the seniority list be finalised forthwith and Departmental Promotion Committees (DPCs) across all cadres be convened on a war footing, ensuring timely promotions and justice to deserving employees.
3. Removal of Pay Disparity & Grade Revision of ASKs
The Association also raised serious concern over the prevailing pay disparities affecting Assistant Storekeepers (ASKs). It was strongly demanded that ASKs be upgraded from Pay Level-2 to Pay Level-4, in line with their duties and responsibilities.
Furthermore, the Association demanded a reduction in the qualifying service for promotion from five years to three years, terming the existing condition as unjustified and detrimental to career advancement.
During the meeting, the Association accorded a warm welcome to the newly appointed Director, Mr Naazim Zai Khan, and appreciated his prompt, positive, and employee-friendly approach since assuming office. The Association expressed optimism that under his leadership, long-pending issues would receive due attention and resolution.
The house also reviewed the previously announced two-hour protest programme scheduled for 20th April 2026 against the indifferent attitude of former authorities who, despite repeated assurances, failed to deliver on employees’ genuine demands.
However, in a constructive and conciliatory approach, it was unanimously decided that before proceeding with the protest programme, a high-level delegation of the Association will meet the Director to present a detailed memorandum of demands and seek time-bound redressal. The Association made it unequivocally clear that while it remains committed to dialogue and resolution through institutional mechanisms, any further delay or indifference will compel the Association to intensify its agitation, and the entire responsibility shall lie with the concerned authorities.
Reaffirming its unwavering commitment, the Association assured all employees that there will be no compromise on their legitimate rights, dignity, and welfare under any circumstances. It also warned that any elements acting against the collective interests of employees or indulging in activities detrimental to the Association will be identified and dealt with strictly.

“Unity, dignity, and justice for employees shall remain our guiding principles, and no force can deter us from achieving our rightful demands.”

Press Release:-

Ajaz Khan Extends Full Support to Pensioners’ Protest Call on March 25.

Srinagar, March 13:-
Chairman of the Jammu & Kashmir Employees Joint Consultative Committee (JKEJCC), Mr. Ajaz Khan, has expressed complete solidarity with the protest programme and the observance of “Black Day” on March 25, 2026, as called by the All India State Pensioners Federation, and strongly supported by the Jammu & Kashmir Pensioners United Front.
In a statement issued here today, Ajaz Khan said that the JKEJCC, which represents a large number of government employees’ associations across Jammu and Kashmir, stands firmly with the pensioners of the country in their struggle to safeguard their legitimate rights and dignity. He said that pensioners are an integral part of the government workforce and any attempt to undermine their rights will naturally raise serious concern among serving employees as well.
Ajaz Khan said that the recently enacted Validation Act 2025 relating to Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, which was passed through the Finance Bill, has created widespread apprehension among lakhs of pensioners across the country. The move is being viewed by pensioners’ organisations as detrimental to their long-established pensionary protections and is perceived as a step that could weaken the legal safeguards of pension benefits.
He said that pension is not a charity or favour from the government but a deferred wage earned by employees after decades of dedicated public service. Any policy decision or legislative step that raises doubts about the security of pensionary benefits naturally becomes a matter of serious concern not only for pensioners but also for lakhs of serving employees who will retire in the coming years.
The JKEJCC Chairman further stated that the concerns raised by the All India State Pensioners Federation regarding the implications of the Validation Act and its alleged conflict with judicial directions must be addressed through meaningful dialogue and reconsideration by the Government of India. He said that the demand to revoke the Validation Act 2025 deserves careful attention in order to protect the interests of retired employees and maintain confidence in the pension system.
Ajaz Khan emphasized that pensioners and in-service employees have always remained on the same page, as both belong to the same service fraternity. “Today’s employees are tomorrow’s pensioners, and therefore any issue affecting pensioners directly concerns serving employees as well,” he added.
Expressing solidarity with the leadership of the Jammu & Kashmir Pensioners United Front, Ajaz Khan said that the entire leadership of the Jammu & Kashmir Employees Joint Consultative Committee fully supports the peaceful protest programme and the submission of memorandums to the Hon’ble Prime Minister through District Collectors and Deputy Commissioners on March 25.
He further urged all employee organisations affiliated with JKEJCC to extend moral support to the pensioners’ movement and stand united for the protection of the rights, dignity, and social security of retired employees.
Ajaz Khan also appreciated the long and valuable services rendered by pensioners in building public institutions and strengthening governance in the country. He said their welfare and dignity must always remain a priority for any responsible government.
“The JKEJCC leadership reiterates that it will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Jammu & Kashmir Pensioners United Front and the All India State Pensioners Federation in every democratic and peaceful effort aimed at safeguarding the rights and interests of pensioners,” he added.

وزیراعلیٰ :جموں وکشمیر

واجب الحترام:- چندایک گزارشات آپ کے گوش گزار کرنے کی جسارت کررہاہوں ، تاکہ آپ کی توجہ حاصل ہوسکے اور ساتھ ہی سند بھی رہے کہ میں نے مستقل وعارضی ملازمین کے مسائل اور جائز مطالبات کسی بڑے ایوان تک پہنچانے کا فریضہ انجام دیا۔
جناب والا، سب سے پہلے آپ کے اس اعلان کا خیرمقدم کہ رواں سال قانونی اور مالی لوازمات کو مکمل کرنے کے بعد 30 ہزار ایڈہاک اور دیگرعارضی ملازمین کی باقاعدگی یا مستقلی عمل میں لائی جائے گی ۔آپ کی یہ یقین دہانی ہم سب بالخصوص اُن ہزاروں ڈیلی ویجروں ، کیجول لیبروں، دیگر یومیہ اُجرت والوں اور فیئر پرائس شاپ ڈیلروں کیلئے حوصلہ اوراُمید افزاء ہے ، جومختلف سرکاری محکموں میں گزشتہ کئی دہائیوں سے کم ازکم ماہانہ اُجرت کے باوجود پوری ایمانداری ،دیانتداری اور فرض شناسی کیساتھ ڈیوٹی انجام دیتے آرہے ہیں ۔
عزت مآب عمرعبداللہ صاحب: ہم اس بات کو جانتے ہیں کہ حکومت کیلئے یکمشت سبھی عارضی ملازمین کی ملازمتوں کو باقاعدہ یا مستقل بناناکوئی آسان کام نہیں ہے ،کیونکہ اس دیرینہ مسئلے کے قانونی اور مالیاتی پہلو ہیں ،جن کو ہم بخوبی سمجھتے ہیں ،لیکن ہم آپ سے یہ اُمید کرتے ہیں کہ آپ کی حکومت عارضی ملازمین اور دیگر محنت کشوں کے حقوق کی محافظ بن کر ایک مربوط لائحہ عمل کیساتھ آگے آئے گی۔ جناب ، یہاں میں آپ کی یاددہانی کیلئے عرض کرﺅں کہ مختلف سرکاری محکموں میں کام کرنے والے لگ بھگ ساٹھ ہزار سے زیادہ عارضی ملازمین میں سے بیشتر کو آپ کی جماعت نیشنل کانفرنس کی حکومتوں نے 1996-2002اور پھر 2009-2014کے دوران تعینات کیاتھا ، اسلئے یہ آپ اور آپ کے ساتھیوں و رفقاء کی اخلاقی ذمہ داری ہے کہ عارضی ملازمین کواُن کی فرض شناسی اور صبر و ثبا ت کا صلہ دیاجائے ۔
جناب محترم : آپ کی یاددہانی کیلئے عرض ہے کہ اسمبلی انتخابات 2014 سے قبل آپ (وزیراعلیٰ جموں وکشمیر) کی زیر صدارت کابینہ کی آخری میٹنگ میں محکمہ خوراک ،سیول سپلائز و امورصارفین میں تعینات سینکڑوں فیئر پرائس شاپ ڈیلروں کو مستقل ملازمت فراہم کرنے کا فیصلہ لیاگیاتھا ، اور اس حوالے سے ایک گورنمنٹ آرڈر بھی جاری کیاگیاتھا لیکن ان محنت کشوں کا مسئلہ بھی گزشتہ12برسوں سے لٹکا ہوا ہے ۔آپ سے یہ اُمید ہے کہ آپ برسوں سے عوام کی خدمت میں مصروف سینکڑوں’فیئرپرائس شاپ ڈیلروں ‘کو بھی جلد انصاف فراہم کرنے کی پہل کریں گے۔
جناب والا ، میں آپ کو یہ بھی یاددہانی کرانے کی جسارت کرتا ہوں کہ آپ اور آپ کے ساتھیوں کو ووٹ دیکر منتخب کرانے والوں میں عارضی ملازمین اور اُن کے اہل خانہ بھی شامل ہیں ،کیونکہ اُن کو آپ پر بھروسہ ہے کہ آپ ہی اُن کی داد رسی کریں گے ۔آپ کی یاد دہانی کیلئے یہ بھی عرض کرﺅں کہ آپ کے دادا مرحوم شیخ محمد عبداللہ کا قول ہے کہ سرداری عوام کا حق ہے ،اور اسی قول کے ناطے ہم یہ یقین رکھتے ہیں کہ آپ عوام کی سرداری کی پاسداری کو یقینی بنائیں گے ۔
واجب الحترام : جمہوری طرز نظام یاطرز حکومت میں عوام اور سماج کے سبھی طبقوں اور حلقوں کو اُن کے جائز حقوق ملنے کی ضمانت ہے ،اور اپنے مسائل یا جائز مطالبات کیلئے پُرامن انداز میں آواز بلند کرنا بھی جمہوری حق ہے اور اگر ملازمین اس جمہوری حق کا استعمال کرتے ہیں تو ا س میں کوئی خرابی نہیں ہے ۔ میں سمجھتا ہوں کہ جب ارباب حل وعقد سماج کے کسی طبقے کے تئیں عدم توجہی اور عدم دلچسپی کی پالیسی کو اپنائیں تو سماج کے اس طبقے کی جانب سے پُرامن اور جمہوری انداز میں اپنی آواز بلند کرنے میں نہ کوئی قباحت ہے اور نہ یہ کوئی خلاف قانون یا غیر جمہوری طرز عمل ہے ۔ ملازمین کا سڑکوں پر نکل کر اپنے مسائل و مطالبات کو اُجاگر کرنا اُن کا مستند جمہوری حق ہے ،جس پر قدغن لگانا کوئی جمہوری عمل نہیں ہے ۔
عزت مآب عمرعبداللہ صاحب : اب میں آپ کی خدمت میں مستقل ملازمین کو درپیش مسائل اور اُنکے دیرینہ مطالبات گوش گزار کرنے کی جسارت کررہاہوں۔جناب والا، مختلف سرکاری محکموں میں تعینات تقریباً 5 لاکھ ملازمین کو گزشتہ کئی برسوں سے مختلف نوعیت کی ناانصافیوں ،مشکلات ،مسائل اور دشواریوں کا سامنا کرنا پڑرہا ہے ،اور کوئی اُن کی مکمل داد رسی کرنے کو تیار نہیں ،ہم نے زبانی جمع خرچ میں بہت کچھ سنا لیکن زمینی سطح پر حاضر سروس ملازمین یا ریٹائرڈ ملازمین کا کوئی مسئلہ حل نہیں ہوا ہے ،بلکہ نت نئے مسائل اور مشکلات پیدا کردئیے گئے ہیں۔
جناب وزیراعلیٰ : تنخواہوں میں تفاوت ، مرکزی ملازمین کے مقابلے میں کافی کم مراعات ، وقت پر جی ، پی فنڈ کی واگزاری نہ ہونا، ریٹائرڈ ملازمین کا واجبات کے حصول کیلئے مہینوں تک سرگرداں رہنا ، اورٹال مٹول کی پالیسی بڑی ناانصافی ہے جس کی جانب فوری توجہ دینے کی ضرورت ہے ۔جناب محترم حاضر سروس ملازمین کا GP فنڈ ہو یا سبکدوش ہونے والے ملازمین کے واجبات ، یہ تو ملازمین کااپنا پیسہ اور اپنا حق ہے ،جسکی ادائیگی یا واگزاری میں تاخیر نہ صرف سراسر زیادتی و ناانصافی ہے ، بلکہ یہ ایک قسم کی وعدہ خلافی بھی ہے ،جس کا ارتکاب گزشتہ کئی برسوں سے ایک معمول بن چکا ہے ۔ اولڈ پینشن سکیم ( OPS ) کو لاگو کرنا ملازمین کے مستقبل کی ضمانت ہیں ۔ ایس آر او 43 کو اپنی اصل ہیئت میں بحال کرنا ایک انسانی مسلئہ ہیں ۔
عزت مآب وزیراعلیٰ : عمرعبداللہ صاحب : مذکورہ بالا گزارشات کوآپ کے گوش گزار کرنے کے بعد اُمید ہے کہ آپ ان پرتوجہ مرکوز کرکے عارضی ، حاضر سروس اور ریٹائرڈ ملازمین کو درپیش مسائل کا ازالہ کرنے کیساتھ اُن کے جائز مطالبات کو پورا کرنے کے حوالے سے بھی عملی اقدامات روبہ عمل لائیں گی ۔

General Information & Press Release:-

The Food and Supplies Employees Association, Kashmir, wishes to inform all employees of the Department of Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs, Kashmir—across all cadres, from grassroots to senior levels—about the sustained, consistent, and tireless efforts being made by the Association from time to time for the welfare, service matters, and overall betterment of departmental employees.
The Association has remained the sole and recognized representative organization of the employees of the Department for more than four decades. Throughout this long and eventful journey, the Association has always functioned in a responsible, democratic, and transparent manner to safeguard the service rights, dignity, and legitimate interests of employees, while simultaneously contributing positively towards the smooth functioning and institutional strengthening of the Department.
Through continuous engagement, sustained representations, review meetings, and constructive dialogue with the concerned authorities, the Association has persistently pursued resolution of long-pending service-related issues affecting employees of all cadres. One such major and long-standing issue has been the removal of pay disparity and Grade Revision of Assistant Storekeepers (ASKs), including their placement from Pay Level-2 to Pay Level-4 and the reduction of the qualifying service period for promotion from five years to three years.
The Association is pleased to inform employees that, owing to consistent efforts and collective support of the workforce, this genuine demand has reached a decisive stage.
The Commissioner Secretary to Government, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs Department, has convened a review meeting to examine the proposed amendments to the Recruitment Rules. During the deliberations, it was acknowledged that the demands projected by the Association are genuine, justified, and merit due consideration, and the Association has been assured that the issue shall be taken to its logical conclusion at the earliest.
The Association places on record its sincere gratitude to the Hon’ble Minister, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs Department, Jammu & Kashmir, the Worthy Commissioner Secretary to Government, and the Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs, Kashmir, for their positive approach and for initiating concrete steps to remove the long-standing pay disparity. The move to bring the Assistant Storekeepers of Kashmir Division at par with their counterparts (Salesmen) of Jammu Division by upgrading them to Pay Level-4 (L-4) is a welcome and historic step.
The Association also appreciates the prudent decision of the Government to defer the proposed re-organization, which was contrary to the career progression and service interests of employees. Instead, the initiation of amendments to the existing Recruitment Rules by merging the cadres of Assistant Storekeepers and Storekeepers and placing them at parity in Pay Level-4 reflects a progressive and employee-friendly approach.
At the same time, all employees are clearly cautioned that certain mischievous and vested-interest elements are attempting to spread negative propaganda and misinformation regarding departmental issues. Employees are advised to remain vigilant and not to fall prey to such elements, who are known for indulging in disruptive and misleading activities. The Association is keeping a close and strict watch on such developments.
The Food and Supplies Employees Association, Kashmir, once again appeals to all employees to maintain unity, discipline, and faith in their own representative organization, which has a proven and unblemished track record of sincere struggle, transparency, and unwavering commitment to employee welfare.
The Association remains hopeful that the Government will pursue these reforms on a war-footing basis and implement them at the earliest, thereby ensuring justice, uniformity, and improved morale among the employees of the Department.
Together, with unity and patience, we shall continue to work for the protection of our rights and the better future of all employees of the Department.

Dated: 28 November 2025:-

The Food and Supplies Employees Association Jammu & Kashmir, under the leadership of its President Mr. Ajaz Khan, extends its deep appreciation and heartfelt gratitude to Shri Saurabh Bhagat (IAS), Worthy Commissioner/Secretary to the Government, Food Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs Department J&K, and to Dr. Owais Ahmad (IAS), Director FCS&CA Kashmir, for issuing the latest Government Order regarding assignment of look-after charge of Assistant Directors in various districts.

The Association welcomes this timely and much-needed administrative initiative, which will significantly improve field-level supervision and enhance departmental efficiency across Jammu & Kashmir.
Warm Congratulations to the Newly Assigned In-Charge Assistant Directors

The President Ajaz Khan and the other leadership of Association congratulates the following officers who have been entrusted with the responsibility of In-charge Assistant Director in their respective districts:

1. Ms. Waheeda Akhtar – City Circle-II, Jammu
2. Mr. Nitin Wadhra – Udhampur
3. Mr. Nisar Ahmad Shalla – Shopian
4. Mr. Syed Ashiq Hussain – Kulgam
We extend our best wishes to all the above officials for success in their new assignments and hope they continue to uphold the highest standards of public service.

While appreciating the positive steps taken by the administration, the Food and Supplies Employees Association expresses deep concern that several long-pending service-related issues of employees continue to remain unresolved. These issues are directly impacting employee morale, operational efficiency, and overall departmental functioning.
The Association urges the Worthy Commissioner/Secretary and the Director, FCS&CA, to kindly address the following priority matters at the earliest:

(1.) Publication of Updated Seniority Lists
Seniority lists across multiple cadres have not been updated for several years.
This has resulted in stagnation, delayed promotions, and blocked career progression.
Many employees eligible for higher posts continue to serve in lower positions.
The delay undermines transparency, fairness, and administrative justice.
The Association earnestly requests immediate finalization and publication of updated seniority lists so that DPCs, promotions, and placements can proceed smoothly.

(2.) Filling Vacant Tehsil Supply Officer (TSO) Posts through OPG
Numerous TSO posts remain vacant, severely affecting field operations.
Existing staff is overburdened, leading to operational inefficiency.
Public grievances are rising due to lack of supervisory manpower.
We strongly urge that all vacant TSO positions be filled on an OPG basis until regular promotions are made.

(3.) Removal of Salary Disparities
Employees holding the same designation and performing identical duties are receiving different salaries due to long-pending anomalies.
These disparities negatively impact morale and create dissatisfaction.
The Association requests a thorough review and removal of these salary anomalies, ensuring uniform pay scales for all employees of the same cadre.

(4.) Immediate Conduct of Departmental Promotion Committees (DPCs)
Routine DPCs have been delayed, causing hardship to eligible employees.
Timely DPCs are essential for maintaining administrative balance and motivation.
The Association appeals for immediate scheduling and completion of all pending DPCs.

(5.) Reactivation and Strengthening of the Enforcement Wing
The Enforcement Wing, once vital to market regulation, anti-black-marketing drives, and consumer protection, has become largely non-functional.
This has seriously affected market checking, price monitoring, and public trust.
We request urgent reactivation of the Enforcement Wing with adequate manpower, logistics, and strong leadership oversight to restore its essential role.

The Food and Supplies Employees Association J&K humbly appeals to the Hon’ble Commissioner/Secretary and the Director FCS&CA Kashmir to kindly:
