He said that the Federation is compelled by the prevailing circumstances and the delay tactics adopted by the Government to raise their strong protest on October 24 to awake the Government from deep sleep if it failed to concede their demands within 15 days .
While addressing the participants, Choudhary Jarnail Singh, working president, JKGPA, urged the Government to appoint an IAS Officer as Director Health Service Jammu to give boost to the Department.
