He demanded that similar types of multi dimensional complexes are also required to be constructed in all the Districts and Muffasil Courts so that their genuine grievance can be redressed.
He urged the UT Government not to adopt delaying tactics in resolving the genuine long pending demands/issues of the legal fraternity and in case there is any further delay the lawyers will have no other option but to intensify the agitation in support of their demands. He said that meeting of all the office bearers of the main Bar and YLA team as well as the former Bar Presidents, office bearers and other members will be held within one or two days to decide the further course of action.
