They regretted that the UT administration had not conceded their genuine demands as a result they have chosen the path of protest and suspended works. This has affected the water supply in most parts in Jammu and Kashmir, but the Government is yet to respond positively to their genuine demands so far.
He also demanded that all genuine demands of the PHE employees be addressed in a time bound manner, as they had been working for 10 to 15 years or more, on occasional payment of meagre wages.
They have urged to Lieutenant Governor, Girish Chandra Murmu to call the leaders of all PHE employees united front and negotiate with them on their genuine demands.
Other prominent who attended the meeting include Maheshwar Sharma, Jarnail Khokar, Rakesh Mangotra, KC Dubey, Vijay Gupta, Farooq Ahmed and Davinder Singh.
