Srinagar- Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday said his administration will soon announce a “structured roadmap” to regularise daily-rated and casual workers employed in various government departments, a long-standing demand.

Addressing the Legislative Assembly, CM said a high-level committee was constituted last year to examine the legal and financial aspects of the issue.

“I assure this House that my government is committed to a just and humane resolution. Based on the committee’s recommendations, a phased roadmap for regularization will be announced,” the Chief Minister said.

The move could impact thousands of workers who have served for years in temporary roles.

CM Omar Abdullah also acknowledged the role of ASHA and Anganwadi workers, calling them the “backbone” of public health and early childhood systems, and pledged to ensure timely release of their honorariums.

Separately, he announced an enhancement in the honorarium for vocational instructors in the state.
