SRINAGAR, June 16: Jammu and Kashmir Contractors’ Central Coordination Committee (JKCCCC) members who were on 36 hour long hunger strike since yesterday, called off their strike this afternoon after intervention by CPI (M) State secretary, Muhammad Yusuf Tarigami.
They, however, threatened to suspend work on all projects by June 20, if their demands are not met with.
President of the JKCCCC, Farooq Ahmad Dar said here that Tarigami assured them that he will take up their demands and problems with the Government at higher level.
“We called off our hunger strike, however, if the Government fails to fulfill our demands by June 20, we will suspend work on all projects going on across the State”, Dar threatened.
“The Government should look into the issues of contractors and fulfill their just demands. However, the contractors should also see whether funds are available for the projects, which they execute”, Tarigami said.
Tarigami expressed concern over the Government’s non-seriousness towards developmental works. He said it is not fair to withhold payments of the contractors.
