Mechanical engineers in Jammu and Kashmir have written to the state government demanding immediate action on long‑standing promotion and regularisation issues affecting their cadre.
Jammu and Kashmir's mechanical engineering cadre has formally approached the state administration, highlighting that several officers remain stuck in temporary or contract positions without clear pathways to promotion or regularisation. The engineers contend that the prolonged uncertainty hampers professional growth and affects service delivery in the region's technical departments.
In a petition submitted to the government, the engineers urged the authorities to expedite pending promotion orders and to regularise contract staff who have served for extended periods. They emphasized that timely resolution is essential to maintain morale and to ensure that the engineering workforce remains motivated and capable of handling infrastructure projects.
The state government has not yet issued a detailed response, but officials have acknowledged receipt of the appeal and indicated that the matter will be examined in upcoming departmental meetings. The engineers have called for a swift decision, warning that continued delays could lead to further dissatisfaction among technical personnel.
