Ten persons who sit on hunger strike Sushma Sharma Kanchan khajuria Pt Tilk Raj sharma Manget Ram Sharma Pt Sat pal Pt Harbans Sharma Gopal Sharma Sandeep Bakshi Brij pal Singh Anku Sharma. They asked the government to protect the Dogra culture, land and property of temples under Dharmarth Trust. They sought intervention of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha in resolving various demands that they have raised including enhancement of their salaries. Run by the erstwhile royal Dogra family, the trust was founded in 1846 by Maharaja Gulab Singh to maintain temples and other properties associated with them but all in depilated condition due to present trust management, they said. "It is very unfortunate that the employees of the Dharmarth Trust are forced into the streets by the rigid attitude of the management which has failed to address their genuine issues," they said. They accused the trust management of taking up wrong policies and “We shall continue our agitation till our demands will be met by the UT administration,” he asserted and said that in future association is going to highlight the all misdeeds of Dharmarth Trust management.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
