JAMMU, Mar  5: Police foiled the bid by National Youth Corp volunteers, who were trying to take out a protest march towards the Civil Secretariat, here today.
In the melee between cops and protesters, three NYC volunteers got fainted even as police maintained maximum restraint and did not resort to lathicharge.
The protesting NYC volunteers were demanding their regularization on the pattern of Rehbar-e-Talim (ReT) and enhancement of their honorarium from Rs 2500 besides converting the same into monthly salary.
Earlier, a number of NYC volunteers assembled in front of the Press Club Jammu under the banner of All Jammu Kashmir National Youth Corp Volunteers Association. Carrying placards and shouting slogans in support of their demands, the protesting NYC volunteers held a strong demonstration there.
While addressing the protesters, State vice president of the Association, Asif Ali Bhat alleged that the Government was not taking their demands seriously and trying to suppress their voice. He warned to further intensify their strike if no action is taken on their demands.
The protest demonstration was also addressed by Mudassar, Wakir Ali, Jafar, Mushtaq, Opinder Charak, Jagdeep, Aijaz, Smriti, Mamta, Deepika and others.
