Jammu, November 11, 2026 | JK Update News

Thousands of Daily Wagers, Casual Workers and Special Police Officers (SPOs) across Jammu and Kashmir continue to face uncertainty despite rendering years of service in various government departments.

Many of these workers have dedicated 10, 15, 20 and even 25 years of their lives to government duties. However, their long years of service have not necessarily translated into permanent employment, adequate wages or long-term social security.

For these employees, the struggle goes beyond employment. Rising inflation, children's education, healthcare expenses and household responsibilities have made financial stability increasingly difficult.

SPOs, who perform important duties under challenging circumstances, also deserve serious consideration regarding their remuneration, service conditions and welfare benefits.

Key Demands and Concerns

1. Formulate a transparent policy for regularisation of eligible Daily Wagers and Casual Workers.

2. Ensure fair and timely wages.

3. Improve the salary structure and service conditions of SPOs.

4. Provide social security and retirement-related benefits.

5. Introduce a clear long-term policy to safeguard the future of these workers.

Appeal to the Government

The government is urged to examine the longstanding concerns of Daily Wagers, Casual Workers and SPOs and take concrete steps towards providing them with dignified working conditions, financial security and a stable future.

Their years of dedication and contribution deserve recognition and a meaningful policy response.

The question remains: Who will understand the pain of those who have served for decades but are still waiting for a secure future?
