RAWALPINDI, June 27: The Lahore High Court’s Rawalpindi bench on June 26 directed the higher education department Punjab to regularise the services of 70 women lecturers working in the garrison city for about 15 years.
Justice Shahid Jamil Khan issued the direction on a contempt petition filed by the lecturers against the education department for not complying with the high court order passed in 2012 for the regularisation of their services.
To a question, the secretary PPSC told the court that the department intended to regularise the services of the teachers under one-person one-seat formula. Under the formula, the PPSC had reserved the right to declare any candidate fail.
Under the formula, the PPSC had directed the lecturers to file affidavits before appearing in the examination, assuring the commission that they would not challenge its decision.
During the course of hearing, Justice Khan asked the secretary PPSC as to why the commission had asked the candidates to submit affidavits.
The court observed that no citizen could be deprived of their right to challenge any decision.
Hassan Maan, the counsel for the lecturers, said the higher education department had been flouting the court’s earlier order by not regularising the services of the lecturers. He said the PPSC had nothing to do with the regularisation of the teachers.
The secretary PPSC said the department had no objection to the regularisation of the lecturers’ services.
The secretary higher education also informed the court that the department had no issue in regularising the services of the teachers after a scrutiny of their educational credentials and checking their service record.
After the assurance, the court dismissed the case and directed the higher education department to regularise the services of the lecturers.

As is known, the steel workers of Wazirpur have been on strike since June 6, under the leadership of 'Garam Rolla Mazdoor Ekta Samiti'. Today, in the negotiation in Deputy Labour Commissioner's Office, the owners of all plants gave in to the demands of workers and accepted to implement the 8-hour workday, double rate overtime, minimum wages, ESI, PF for the workers of Wazirpur. It is a huge victory for the workers as it was not an informal negotiation for some wage increment; almost all the basic labour laws have been enforced in this negotiation.

गौरतलब है कि पिछले 22 दिनों से दिल्ली के वजीरपुर इलाके के गर्म रोला मज़दूर अपनी संवैधानिक कानुनी मांगो को लागु करवाने के लिए हड़ताल पर थे। इस बीच मालिकों ने अलग अलग तरीके से हड़ताली मज़दूरों को तोड़ने की कोशिश की। मजदूर नेताओं को झूठे आरोपो में गिरफ्तार करवाने की कोशिशों से लेकर हड़ताल को लम्बा खीचकर मज़दूरों को भूख से तोड़ देने जैसे अनेक तरीके अपनाये। पर मज़दूरों द्वारा इसका संगठित प्रतिरोध, हड़ताल के दौरान सामुदायिक रसोई चलाना आदि ऐसे हथियार साबित हुए जिसके सामने मालिकों को झुकना पड़ा।

आज वजीरपुर औद्योगिक क्षेत्र के गरम रोला कारखाने के मज़दूरों ने जन्तर-मन्तर पर विशाल प्रदर्शन किया। जन्तर-मन्तर से संसद मार्ग तक 500 की संख्या में मज़दूरों ने रैली निकाली और श्रम मंत्रालय तथा प्रधानमंत्री कार्यालय को अपना ज्ञापन सौंपा। ज्ञात हो कि पिछले बीस दिनों से गरम रोला कारखाने के मज़दूर गरम रोला मज़दूर एकता समिति के नेतृत्व में अपनी माँगों को लेकर हड़ताल पर हैं। गरम रोला एकता समिति के रघुराज ने बताया कि वजीरपुर औद्योगिक क्षेत्र में सरेआम श्रम कानूनों का उल्लंघन होता है। लेबर कोर्ट पास में ही नीमड़ी काॅलोनी में है लेकिन ठीक उनकी नाक के नीचे मज़दूरों का शोषण बदस्तूर जारी है। इसलिए मज़दूर इन कारखानों में श्रम कानूनों को लागू करवाने की अपनी माँग को लेकर हड़ताल पर हैं। वजीरपुर का यह वही औद्योगिक क्षेत्र है जहाँ लोहे को पिघला कर स्टेनलेस स्टील बनायी जाती है। बेहद खतरनाक और जोखिम भरे माहौल में मज़दूरों को बारह से चौदह घण्टे खटना पड़ता है। यहाँ न तो कोई न्यूनतम मज़दूरी दी जाती है और न ही किसी तरह की कोई सुरक्षा है। आए दिन दुर्घटनायें होती रहती हैं।
