UDHAMPUR, Aug 5: Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party has expressed its deep anguish over the Ministry of Railway’s decision to employ Railway staff even for IV Class job on Udhampur-Katra rail line from Kashmir Valley ignoring the local youth.
People of Udhampur and Reasi districts have provided their land, money, persons for seeing the day when Udhampur-Katra rail link is operationalized but the decision of Ministry of Railway, Govt of India to appoint even gangmen and coolies from Kashmir Valley is very disturbing, said MLA Udhampur and JKNPP president Balwant Singh Mankotia while talking to media persons, here today.
Stating that there was a lot of resentment among the people, especially youth over the Government decision of appointing people from outside Udhampur and Reasi districts, Mankotia announced that the Panthers party would hold a strong protest demonstration on Wednesday at Udhampur against such injustice by Govt of India.
JKNPP has also sent a memorandum to the Union Minister for Railways protesting against the decision and asking him to rescind the same.
