JAMMU, Feb 23: National Youth Corps (NYC) volunteers flayed the Government for its failure in conceding their long pending demand of regularization.
Carrying placards and banners, NYC volunteers assembled in front of the Press Club and raised slogans against the Government for not redressing their demand of regularisation.
The NYC volunteers in the shape of a rally started marching towards Dogra Chowk, but were restricted by the police personnel.
Addressing the gathering, one of the protesting NYC volunteer said that the Government is not serious about the future of 8000 youth of the State.
He said NYCs are engaged with different Government Departments and have rendered 2 years service and now the Government is implementing use and throw policy, which is not bearable at all.
Bhat further stated that the criminal silence of the Government on this issue will surely put the future of the NYC’s in dark.
He demanded regularization of their services as they have experience of rural development, urban development, social welfare, education, tourism, etc.
Apart from ongoing protest at Jantar Mantar, NYC volunteers will intensify protest across the State if Government failed to redress their demand, he warned.
State convener of Law Knowing People’s Association Arjun Singh Chib, incharge, YUVA Sachin Singh Parihar, Mushtaq Ahmed, State committee member of NYC Association, Jagjyot Singh, Maheshwar Vishwakarma, Gagandeep Sharma, Ayush Bhatt, Brij Mohan, Sanjay Manhas, Anu Verma besides many other were present during the protest.
