Minister for Major and Medium Irrigation Govind Karjol on Monday said the State Government was working towards regularising the pourakarmikas working in urban local bodies of the State in the next two months.
Speaking at an awareness programme for pourakarmikas organised by Karnataka State Safai Karmachari Commission and the Mysuru district administration, Mr. Karjol said the State Cabinet had already decided to regularise the services of all the estimated 52,000 pourakarmikas working in urban areas of the State.
To tide over the legal hurdles, a committee had been set to frame special recruitment rules for the regularisation of the services of the pourakarmikas, who are not yet permanent government employees. The Basavaraj Bommai government will secure the report of the committee in the next one or two months and take necessary action, Mr. Karjol assured.
