He informed that a memorandum has been handed over to Divisional Commissioner Jammu on March 14 but nothing has been done till today. He urged the workers to intensify their struggle till their demands are not redressed.
Sham Prasad Kesar, senior leader CITU said that Government needs to become the facilitator in allowing its vast poor population to earn their livelihood by starting their small ventures, but it looks extremely strange that one its premier agencies has rendered them jobless and Government seems to be silent spectator.
