JAMMU, Jan 22: LIC employees in Jammu and Kashmir, under the banner of the Northern Zone Insurance Employees' Association, staged a massive demonstration outside LIC offices across the region, led by Comrade Pawan Gupta, Divisional Secretary of the Association. The protest, held at D.O. Cell Jammu, highlighted their long-pending demand for immediate recruitment in LIC.

He also called for the recognition of the All India Insurance Employees' Association, which represents nearly 80% of LIC employees. The demonstration was supported by key figures including Com. Rajesh Gupta, Com. Dinesh Kumar Sharma, Com. Raj Kumar, and others, and was organized across various regions by local leaders like Com. R.P. Singh, Surat Singh, and Vikas.
