The letter stated that employees serving in Government Medical College Doda and other newly established medical colleges have been rendering dedicated services in the healthcare sector for several years but continue to face uncertainty regarding promotions, seniority, transfers, career progression, and other service-related benefits because the SRRs have not yet been finalised.

Mehraj Malik said the delay has created serious concern among employees, forcing them to initiate peaceful demonstrations in support of their demands.

Seeking urgent intervention, the MLA requested the Chief Minister to direct the concerned department to expedite the framing and implementation of comprehensive Service Recruitment Rules for all non-gazetted staff working in the new Government Medical Colleges of Jammu and Kashmir.

A copy of the letter was also marked to Sakina Itoo for information and necessary action.
