| Daily wagers lock PDD Commissioner in office | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, Nov 22: Demanding regularisation, over 500 daily wagers today locked Commissioner, Power Development Department in his office and staged a demonstration in this winter capital.
Amid slogans, hundreds of PDD daily wagers assembled at Commissioner's office to raise their long-pending demand of regularisation in one voice.
The daily wager employees, however, gheraoed the complex and locked PDD Commissioner Asgar Ali inside a room and later staged a protest outside his office.
''For the last eight years, we are being given assurances but nothing has been done on ground,'' Kulbir Singh, a Union leader expressed.
He said despite a clear assurance from the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who met them last November, nothing has been handed to them in black and white.
''Over 2000 daily wagers in the department across the state, are awaiting regularisation and it is surprising that the government pays no heed to their genuine demand as their families have been led to starvation,'' the leader added.
The employees climbed the rooftops of the building and gheraoed the entire complex amid anti-government slogans.
