JKS seeks justice for Cooperative bank employee, stages indefinite Dharna
MUKESH SHARMA
Kalimpong, August 31:
The Janmukti Karmachari
Sangathan (JKS) Kalimpong Sub division Committee staged indefinite Dharna
commencing from today in front of the Cooperative bank due to which the bank
remained closed further paralyzing the banks services.
It may be recalled that
few days before, the Janmukti Karmachari Sangathan (JKS) Kalimpong Sub division
Committee, had cautioned of an infinite dharna if justice is not done to one of
the employees. As per the incident, one Lakshmi Prasad Mukhia, a junior officer
at the Darjeeling Branch Cooperative Bank was suspended on the grounds of
irregularity on May 23, 2006. Following the same, the Bank formed a Committee/
Board under the lead of Retd officer, JP Yadav as per which last year, the
charges was marked baseless and Mukhia was requested on January 19, 2012 to
join back to work.
Until now everything
was fine, however, after the implementation of the West Bengal Cooperative Act
& rules the Committee/ Board was dissolved resulting in the loss of power
of the special officer. The said officer had before not accepting the
verification report of the Board had dismissed it and had requested PC
Bhattacharya, an advocate of the Kolkata High Court to once again verify the
Committee’s report. The latter report by Bhattacharya proved the charges as
correct and Mukhia was terminated vide Memo no 339/2012-13/DDCCB dated
23.07.2012.
Hence, the JKS raising
their concern over the issue had totally voiced against it and had forwarded a
memorandum to the special officer of the Cooperative Bank asking various
questions and had not accepted the dismissal order and had also requested the
bank to re-instate Mukhia in the normal service of the bank taking into the
humanitarian approach of the fact that Mukhia is retiring from September 01,
2012.
