SRINAGAR, Mar 2: The Fair Price Dealers associated with Consumer Affair & Public Distribution (CAPD) today protested against the non-fulfilment of their long pending demands by the Government.
Scores of these dealers assembled here at Press Enclave and demanded that they should be given fixed wages by the department-the demands which they are putting forth for last couple of years.
“We are here to press for our demands which we have been raising for last two years, but the Government is not paying any heed to our demands,” said Abdul Rahim Shah, one of the dealers.

The dealers who are working with the department are demanding that they should be given consolidated wages of which they have been deprived for long now. “The administration is not fulfilling our genuine long pending one single demand with regard to the pay that we are given as of now,” they said.
“We are again putting forth one single demand, and for that we are now on road, and if the Government fails in addressing our issues, we will be forced to go on strike from April 1, following which the administration will be responsible for all the consequences,” they warned.
The dealers are working with the department for last more than 20 years now and have been deprived of fixed pay since then. The dealers have appealed the higher-ups to intervene into the matter and help getting their issue resolved without forcing them to go on strike.
