Srinagar, Oct 22: Jammu and Kashmir Police today foiled a meeting of Employee Joint Action Committee (EJAC), called to chalk out a plan against termination of employees for alleged anti-national activities, and arrested nine of its top leaders.

However, a police party barged into the meeting hall and arrested our top nine leaders besides ransacked the place and harassed us," he alleged.

He said committee in consultation with all unions of government offices have decided to observe a day long strike in all offices on October 25.
"If our demand was not met, we will intensify our agitation and go on an indefinite strike. We will soon hold a meeting of all the unions and association of government departments in the state and chalk out our further plan of action," he said.
