Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 12 : Hundreds of daily wagers deployed in Power Development Department (PDD) of Jammu and Kashmir today took out a protest rally demanding regularisation, release and enhancement of their wages.
Amid anti-government slogans, number of daily wagers from across the state participated in the protest rally that passed through various markets of the city, this afternoon.
‘’The administration is not taking care of the daily wagers and not even paying attention to our genuine demands as for the last one-week, we are on strike,’’ Kulbir Singh, one of the leaders of All J&K PDD Daily Wagers Association, Jammu told UNI.
He said that government has forced us to come on the streets as they are not serious in handling the issue and not considering our demands.
‘’Amendment of SRO 64 of 1994, regularisation of D/Ws, who have completed 7-year in service after 1994, release of wages on monthly basis and enhancement of wages from Rs 70 to 200 per day are some of our demands, which government should immediately consider,’’ he said, adding that the agitation would be intensified, if the authorities fail to consider their long pending demands.
The protestors marched towards Civil Secretariat, but police and the security forces did not allow them to proceed.
Tehsildar Jammu, however, reached the spot and was handed over a copy of memorandum by the agitating daily wagers, which he said would be forwarded to the concerned authorities.
