# JKEEGA holds South Kashmir convention, discusses promotions and regularisation 2026-08-22T22:29:42+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Jammu and Kashmir Electrical Engineering Graduates Association (JKEEGA) held its South Kashmir convention at the Dak Bungalow in Anantnag on Friday, with engineers from various levels of the department participating. General Secretary Er. Pirzada Hidayatullah presented a report on the first two months of the newly constituted Executive Council for the 2026-28 term, outlining initiatives and progress on long-pending issues. Hidayatullah highlighted promotions achieved during the initial two months, attributing progress to sustained engagement with authorities. The issue of using direct recruitment posts for promoting in-service Junior Engineers was discussed, with members resolving to pursue the matter for career progression. Regularisation was described as a foremost priority, with interventions at various levels and a roadmap for early resolution outlined. Hidayatullah said the Executive Council remains committed to addressing professional, promotional and service-related concerns through institutional dialogue and engagement with the administration. Participating engineers expressed satisfaction with the leadership's progress on promotions, regularisation and other service matters. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The convention comes amid a long-standing demand by Jammu and Kashmir's engineering cadre for streamlined promotions and regularisation of temporary staff. Thousands of Junior Engineers across the region have been awaiting career advancement through direct recruitment quota utilisation, a process that has seen bureaucratic delays. The association's focus on institutional dialogue suggests a strategy of working within government channels rather than agitational methods. The next concrete milestone to watch is any formal representation to the Power Development Department or the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board, which would signal progress on the in-service promotion issue. ## Coverage - greaterkashmir.com Straight report of the convention proceedings and statements, no editorial slant or evaluation.
