A Gatekeeper’s Tale Saifullah Bashir
On his retirement day, all the staff members acknowledged the dedication and spirit of Rafiq.
In 1979, Mohammad Rafiq Shiekh was appointed as a daily-wager at the department of sports in the Government College for women at Moulana Azad Road Srinagar.
Sheikh was a teenager then. He wanted to help his family financially so he agreed to work at the college. He was unaware that this college will be his first and last place to serve. With a meagre salary of Rs 150 per month, he remained as a daily wager till 1982.
For his dedication and good performance, Sheikh got a permanent post at the college and his salary was increased by Rs 250. From the sports department he was a posted gatekeeper, a duty he discharged for the following four decades.
