Srinagar, Oct 12: Dozens of BJP party workers hit the streets here on Tuesday demanding safe accommodation for ‘panches’ and ‘sarpanches’ and other activists.
The party workers led by BJP spokesperson Altaf Thakur staged a sit-in protest at Press Enclave on Residency road in Kashmir Valley against the Jammu and Kashmir administration as they had “failed to provide safe accommodation to the political activists and party workers.”
