JAMMU, Mar 1: The ongoing protest launched by 45 aggrieved displaced youth who were selected under PM package over a decade back and who have not been given the appointment orders by the concerned authorities till date entered 137th day today near Press Club here.
The protesting youth had reiterated their demand to Government urging it to issue the appointment orders in their favour on the same lines on which the other candidates were selected. They said there was no justification of not issuing the appointment orders when other candidates falling in their category were selected and they were serving in Valley for many years now.
The protesting youth said that they had left their private sector jobs since with the hope to serve in Kashmir Valley and pave way for the return and rehabilitation of displaced minorities who were hounded out from there over 31 years back but all their hopes dashed to ground as the concerned authorities failed to issue orders in their favour till date.
The protesting candidates said that many of them are at the verge of over age and hence they could not apply for new posts under the package. And after leaving their private sector jobs they have become totally dependent on their old age parents for whom it is totally difficult to feed them now.
The protestors reiterated their appeal to Lt Governor, Manoj Sinha seeing his immediate intervention in the matter.
