A Writ Was Filed In The High Court By The Employees Who Are Going To Be Fired By The Pokhara Metropolis . The technical employees who are going to be removed by the Pokhara Metropolitan Municipality have approached the High Court. They have filed a writ against the decision of the metropolis in Pokhara High Court.
In the writ filed by Prakash Wagle, Bhuvneshwar Timilsina and Sarada Giri, the court has called both sides for discussion to give further orders. District Judge Merina Shrestha’s bench has ordered both parties to appear in court on the 30th.
The employees have accused the city of removing them with wrong intentions without following the law. They have also asked for an interim order not to implement the decision immediately. “We are employees older than the metropolis. It has been working since it was a local body,” Wagle said. “There is a provision in the law to give one opportunity. The metropolis said to carry the bag and carry the bag. We went to court.
The 37th executive meeting of Pokhara metropolis has decided to leave 28 technicians from November 1st. The employees are demonstrating together with the representatives of the UML. Apart from 3 other employees are also preparing to go to court. They have alleged that the organization and management survey of employees was removed without political bias. The metropolis has said that it is going to remove the employees because they have come on permanent posts from the Public Service Commission.
The Nepali Congress has also taken the stand that the contract should be removed after the arrival of permanent employees. UML stands in a position that should not be removed immediately. Mayor Dhanraj Acharya has formed a 9-member recommendation committee to get agreement from both parties.
He argued that Mayor Acharya put it in the committee without asking and since the committee does not have the right to overturn the decision of the executive meeting, there is no justification for forming the committee.
