SOG Group-D staff demand service regularisation


BHUBANESWAR: Demanding regularisation of service, all 305 Group-D contractual employees of the Special Operation Group (SOG) of the Odisha police staged a rally in front of the State Assembly here on Wednesday while their indefinite dharna at the site entered the sixth day on the day.

The SOG Menial Staff (Group-D) Association handed over a memorandum to the Chief Minister demanding appropriate steps for fulfilment of their demands. The memorandum said that in the Commissionerate Police of Bhubaneswar-Cuttack, 92 have been appointed as menial staff on regular basis in SS Battalion in 2011 with all service benefit as regular Government employees and recently, about two months back, altogether 414 have been appointed on regular basis in the sixth Indian Reserve Battalion operating in the State as menial staff in Group-D establishment who would have all service benefits like regular Government employees.

The employees said, “The duties and functions are one and the same, compared to menial staff engaged in SSB and the sixth IRB although we command seniority over and above them. In spite of appeals, the Government is not acting in positive manner for regularisation of our service,” they added.

The association demanded listing of the menial employees in the regular cadre, regularisation of their services with effect from menial staff (Group-D) appointment of SSB and other privileges as admissible to the SOG personnel including grant of life risk allowance.
