Talking to reporters Som Nath said that Imprest Workers have been engaged by certain authorities in PHE Department for the last 12-15 years on honorarium of Rs 500 per month for eight hours regular duty and shockingly they receive Rs 500 only twice a year.

Som Nath also appealed to the Advisor to the Governor to look into the issue of these workers.
He further demanded the release of pending wages of CP and ITI workers and also to land donors during the upcoming festivals.
Vijay Sharma, Suraj Prakash, Dinesh Kesar, Amit Dubey, Omkar Chand, Barf Singh, Flail Singh, Jatinder, Dev Singh and others were also present in the protest.
