Srinagar,07-Mar: While urging the government to redress genuine demands of striking patwaris, CPI (M) leader Mohamad Yousuf Tarigami on Tuesday said that the strike of patwaris has paralysed the working in revenue department. In a statement issued to CNS, Tarigami said that the administration has been giving assurances and making promises that their genuine grievances would be redressed, but nothing seems to be happening on ground, forcing them to go on protest. “The demands include increase in the grade pay of graduate patwaris, timely departmental promotion of patwaris,girdawaris, rent for Patwar Khanas (Private accommodation), construction of new Patwar Khanas, creation of new patwar halqas and Girdawar circles are all genuine demands, which they must be fulfilled without any further delay”. Tarigami further said that the Government must talk to the representatives of the Association and take effective steps to settle their genuine demands.
