The State Safari Karmachari Commission will crack down on the practice of engaging pourakarmikas on contract and issue notices to the management concerned and organisation heads.
This was stated by commission Chairman M. Shivanna after listening to the grievances of 14 outsourced workers employed in the Mysuru Divisional Railway and whose contract was terminated without citing any reason.
Mr. Shivanna said the railway authorities deflect the blame on the contractor as these workers were outsourced and say that the onus of responsibility rests with the contractor. But as principle employer paying for the workers, the railways have to take responsibility, said Mr. Shivanna adding that he will exercise the judicial power vested with him to register a case against the heads concerned for the lapse.
