Ramnagar, May 6 : One-month after unsuccessfully prevailing upon the various senior Police functionaries as well as political top-brass of the State and driving helplessly from pillar to post, an emergency meeting of major heads of political parties, intellectuals, teachers, businessmen, Self Help Groups, NGOs under the chairmanship of R.S. Pathania, prominent lawyer and senior Youth Congress leader, was convened outside Dak Bungalow, Ramnagar, wherein it was unanimously decided to serve last and final ultimatum of 30-days to the government for immediately re-engaging 100-odd disengaged SPOs of Ramnagar failing which a massive public agitation shall be started in the area at the pure risk and responsibility of government. Pathania while addressing the protesting SPOs and people lamented that police-recruits from Kashmir who raised pro-Pakistan slogans in PTS Kathua were never touched. But those patriotic SPOs from Ramnagar who have lost their lives and limbs while fighting insurgency and are now demanding decent wages are being silenced by disengagement orders and criminal cases.
