The protesting Karamcharis alleged that all these wrong doings have been done hurriedly as the huge amount of bribe has been taken in lieu of said promotions.
Later on, the agitating employees led by Rajesh Bakshi, Member, Ward No 6, approached president, Cantt Board, Jammu, Brig Randhir Singh with their grievances, who assured that he will look into the matter and sort all the problems within three days.
On the assurance of the president, Cantt Board, Jammu, the agitators called off their strike and resumed their duties. The agitating employees demanded that a thorough investigation should be done to probe their misdeeds and promotion of employees should be streamlined by seniority.
