“A number of committees were formed by the State Government to resolve our long-pending issues and demands, but our file is still gathering dust in the Secretariat,” Sohan Chand lamented and said that it was sheer injustice with the casual workers.
“We have not even received the wages for the last 38 months which should be paid at the earliest,” he added.
Later on the protestors also met SSP Reasi, Sujit Kumar and apprised him of their problems.
