SRINAGAR : An indefinite hunger strike by daily wagers, casual labourers, need based workers, land donors and other temporary employees entered its second day.
Under the banner of Jammu and Kashmir Casual Daily Wagers Forum (CDWF) the hunger strike was started at Partap Park near here , demanding their regularisation.
A spokesperson of the CDWF said the hunger strike is indefinite as state government has totally failed to address their issues of permanent employment of those who are working in different offices from 1994 to 2015.
The spokesperson said previous National Conference (NC) and Congress coalition government had totally deceived more than 61,000 members of the CDWF on October 27 last year when the issue of daily wagers for their permanent employee was deferred because of some dispute between two ruling party ministers.
He said now the present coalition government of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and BJP is also trying to delay the issue by constituting committees.
The strike will continue till their demand was accepted, he added. (UNI)
