Kothagudem: Tribal associations seek SCCL to fill up 665 tribal backlog badli worker posts

Leaders of different tribal associations staged a one-day hunger strike in Kothagudem on Friday.

Kothagudem: The leaders of different tribal employees’ associations have demanded the SCCL management to fill up 665 tribal badli worker posts pending since 2013.

The associations also wanted the management to declare the results of a written examination conducted on June 10, 2018 for filling up badli worker posts and staged a daylong hunger strike in support of the demand at the SCCL Head Office here on Friday.

All India Tribal Employees union national vice president, Golla Ramesh, Singareni ST Employees Welfare Association president Banoth Karna, its state secretary general Guguloth Kodandaram, All India SC/ST Rights Protection Association Singareni branch, president Rasuri Shankar and others took part in the protest.

Giving background of the stir, the leaders told the media that as the percentage of tribal workers was only 4.9 in SCCL instead of 6 percent the Singareni ST Employees Welfare Association launched an agitation in 2010.

The then member of National ST Commission K Kamala Kumari and a team of 12 ST MLAs in 2012 visited the company Head Office seeking the management to fill up backlog posts as well as jobs to be offered to the kin of families whose lands acquired for the SCCL mines.

With subsequent efforts by the tribal associations Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) management agreed to fill 665 badli worker posts in 2013. Nearly 28, 000 tribal candidates appeared for the test conducted four years ago. But the test results were not announced so far, lamented Ramesh.

Two months back, the High Court vacated a stay granted against declaring the badli worker test results. The families that were evacuated for the SCCL mines feared that if the backlog posts they would lose their share in the jobs under tribal quota.

The association’s leaders wanted the company to fill up 665 posts in total and not effectuate any cut in the number of posts on the pretext that they have already created jobs for about 300 tribal evacuees according to G.O MS No. 34.

Former MLA K Sambasiva Rao, TBGKS leaders Somi Reddy, Razack, Congress leader JB Showry, Adivasi Sagham leader V Ramakrishna Dora and others extended their solidarity to the protesting tribal associations.
