JAMMU, May 9: The indefinite strike by Patwaries and Girdawars across Jammu and Kashmir entered into 32th day today.
The strike is being observed under the banner of All Jammu and Kashmir Patwar Association in support of the demands.
Today, the protesting Patwaries and Girdawars of Jammu district assembled at tehsil headquarter Jammu and held a demonstration in support of their demands.
Addressing the protesting Patwaries and Girdawars, Sanjeevan Sharma, Tehsil President, Jammu, said that it is unfortunate that instead of fulfilling the genuine demands of Patwaries and Girdawars, the Government is trying to suppress their agitation by issuing orders of stopping the salary of agitating Patwaries and Girdawars. He held the Government responsible for the sufferings of common people due to strike.
Shahid Iqbal, secretary, tehsil Jammu, warned the Government not to try the patience of angry Patwaries and Girdawars. He said that the ongoing indefinite strike will continue till the Government issues a formal order of approval of their demands.
