JAMMU, June 29: Government has failed to implement the agreement signed with the representatives of the Government employees and workers.

Sharma stated that five years back, Government signed a written agreement with the employees representatives in which it had agreed to the demands of employees. Subsequently the same agreement was endorsed but Government failed to implement the same in letter and spirit, he added.

He further informed that the representatives and activists of JKEJAC of Jammu region held a meeting and decided to participate in the July 9 Convention to be held at Srinagar.
He appealed to the pro-struggle employees and representatives to participate in the July 9 “Srinagar Chalo” programme, adding that same programme will also be chalked out for Jammu in consultation with the different struggle minded representatives of employees.
