| PHE daily wagers’ agitation for regularisation enters 20th day | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 14: The PHE workers under the banner of PHE Employees United Front held strong protest demonstration in the office of Chief Engineer, at BC Road Jammu on the 20 th consecutive day today. The PHE/Jal Shakti workers were shouting slogans against the UT Administration and BJP Government at the Centre. They alleged that BJP has failed to resolve the pending issues of the workers despite long protests. The protesting workers were demanding their regularisation, release of pending 65 months wages of workers, implement Minimum Wages Act in J&K on Central pattern and revoke 12 vouchers rider. After holding strong protest demonstration, they sat on day long dharna with empty plates in hands in the BC Road PHE office complex. They pointed out that Government is spending huge money on the rehabilitation of the militants and their families but the workers who are performing their duties with full dedication on meagre wages are being denied their wages. They claimed that the agitation would be continued till their demands are addressed by the Government. The senior members pointed out that Chief Engineer PHE Jammu Manish Kumar Bhat and Addl DC also came to the dharna site and addressed the agitating workers. They assured that regularization process was under way and appealed to the workers to suspend agitation. The workers however, said no any more assurances are needed now, this is the time to act. They refused to suspend strike till a final decision is announced by the Government about their fate. The members alleged that J&K Administration itself wants to worsen the situation. During Covid daily wagers do not want to assemble in large number but the Administration has forced them to go for agitation. They further said that in view of the pathetic condition of the Government, the members of the PHE Employees United Front announced to extend their strike for next 72 hours. Prominent among those who spoke on the occasion included – Bhanu Partap, Ravi Hanas, Jyoti Parkash, Rajinder Singh, Rakesh kumar, Hoshiar Singh, Navdeep Singh, Binkal Manhas, Vishav Dubey and others.
