  • CPM Opposes Himachal’s Temporary Recruitment Policy, Demands Regular Government Jobs

    CPM Opposes Himachal’s Temporary Recruitment Policy, Demands Regular Government Jobs

    The Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM) has strongly criticised the Himachal Pradesh government’s recruitment policies, alleging that the increasing reliance on temporary employment is undermining job security and worsening unemployment among the state’s youth.

     

    In a statement issued on Sunday, CPM Himachal Pradesh State Secretary Sanjay Chauhan urged the government to halt recruitment through part-time, casual, outsourcing, contractual, job trainee and other temporary arrangements, and instead fill vacancies across departments through regular appointments.

     

    The party claimed that the government is replacing permanent recruitment with low-paid temporary jobs that offer little or no long-term employment security. According to the CPM, the policy is creating uncertainty among educated youth and could lead to a rise in unemployment and public resentment.

     

    The CPM also objected to the extension of temporary recruitment to higher-level government posts. It cited the state’s recent decision to recruit 162 doctors in health institutions and 335 assistant professors in colleges under the Job Trainee Policy. The party alleged that the selected doctors would receive a fixed monthly salary of ₹34,000, while assistant professors would be paid ₹35,000 per month.

     

    According to the CPM, appointments under the Job Trainee Policy are limited to two years, after which candidates would have to compete again through examinations and interviews for regular posts created by the government. The party claimed that the policy does not guarantee regularisation and could eventually be extended to other government departments.

     

    The CPM further alleged that both the Centre and the state government are pursuing neo-liberal policies that promote the privatisation of essential public services such as education, healthcare, transport, electricity and drinking water. It argued that such measures would increase the financial burden on the public, reduce employment opportunities and make basic services less accessible.

     

    The party demanded that the government withdraw what it described as “anti-people” policies, stop the privatisation of essential services and implement a policy of regular recruitment across all government departments.

     

    Warning of protests, the CPM said it would mobilise the public against the government’s policies if no corrective steps are taken. It also appealed to people from all sections of society to unite against what it termed anti-people neo-liberal policies.

  • CPM Slams Detention of CITU Leaders, Backs SAIHB Employees’ Protest in Shimla

    CPM Slams Detention of CITU Leaders, Backs SAIHB Employees’ Protest in Shimla

    Shimla May 30

    The state committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM) has strongly condemned the police detention of CITU leaders during the ongoing agitation by SAIHB Society employees in Shimla and demanded their immediate release.

    In a statement issued on Friday, CPM State Secretary Sanjay Chauhan termed the police action “undemocratic and unconstitutional,” asserting that the Constitution guarantees citizens the right to protest and raise their concerns peacefully.

    “The municipal administration appears to be attempting to suppress the ongoing movement of SAIHB Society employees through police action,” Chauhan said. He warned that if the detained CITU leaders are not released immediately and the dismissed employees are not reinstated, the CPM will extend full support to the agitation and actively participate in future protests.

    The controversy stems from a prolonged dispute between the Shimla Municipal Corporation and the SAIHB Society Employees’ Union over annual wage increments, which employees allege were curtailed by the civic body. During earlier phases of the agitation, services of 41 SAIHB employees were terminated, triggering widespread resentment among workers.

    According to the CPM, a settlement was later reached between the Municipal Corporation administration and the employees’ union, under which several demands—including the reinstatement of the dismissed workers—were reportedly accepted. However, the party alleges that the agreed terms have not been implemented in their entirety, forcing employees to resume their protest.

    The CPM has urged the Shimla Municipal Corporation to honour the agreement reached with the union, restore the services of all dismissed employees without delay, and address the pending demands of the workforce to prevent further escalation of the dispute.

    The issue has once again brought labour rights and municipal employment practices into focus, with trade unions warning of intensified protests if assurances made by the administration remain unfulfilled.
