One among the casual worker namely Mushtaq said that several protest seems to have no impact on the authorities despite the fact that we are still providing uninterrupted 24X7 hours services to the poor Pahari students without salaries for the last more than two years.
Even the students of the hostel today came in the support of the casual workers and also held protest and appealed to deputy commissioner Rajouri to intervene so that these poor workers can get their salaries and may celebrate Eid festival with their children and family members.
Other students said that many time these casual workers, who are serving us since a long time, borrow money from the students to visit their families as they don't have enough money even for the transport fare.
Pertnently, the Warden of the hostel is on long leave and the in-charge Warden has no Drawing & Disbursing powers and the Pahari hostel at Rajouri facing many problems.
