JAMMU, Nov 24: The members of All Daily Wagers Sangarsh Samiti staged a protest dharna here today. The protest was held under the banner of All J&K Daily Wagers Sangrash Samiti.
A large number of daily wagers led by its president Sunny Kant Chib protested in support of their pending demands, followed by day long dharna.
They were carrying banners and placards in their hands and shouting slogans, projecting their demands.
The workers from Education Department, Asha Workers from Health Department, CP and ITI workers from PHE / Jal Shakti Department, Anganwadi Workers and Helpers from SWD, Home Guards, Malis and Chowkidars participated in the protest dharna.
They are demanding a definite regularization policy, release of their pending wages and implementation of Minimum Wages Act in the Jammu and Kashmir on the pattern of other UTs.
Speaking on the occasion Sunny Kant Chib said, “Many times the representations in this regard have been given to the higher authorities in the UT Administration, but no action has been taken so far.
“Only false assurances were given to the Samiti members, even many times protest dharnas were staged but the officials at the helm of affairs remained unmoved,” he added and warned to intensify their struggle in near future if the Government ignores their issues.
