JAMMU, May 20: The ITI trained, casual labours and Community Participation (CP) workers of the PHE Department went on Kam Chhor Hartal and held protest demonstration and day long dharna outside the office of Chief Engineer on BC Road here today.
The workers under the banner of All J&K PHE, ITI Trained & CP Workers Association led by its president Tanveer Hussain assembled at BC Road PHE complex in the morning today and started protest demonstration. They were raising loud slogans in support of their demands and also against the State Government. They expressed their anguish over the anti-worker attitude of the State Government.
He alleged that only false promises were made with over 61,000 casual labour and other workers engaged in various departments by previous Government. Number of committees and sub-committees were framed but they were not regularised. Their files remained in the offices gathering dust. The new Government has ousted thousands of temporary workers and made them unemployed. Nothing can be expected from the present regime.
The Association members pointed out that May 20 deadline had been given to the State Government to State their demands but it remained unmoved. The higher officials did not bother. Therefore, the Association decided to go on Kam Chhor Hartal in Jammu as well as Kashmir region. They warned the Government to stop exploitation of the unemployed youth.
Deepak Gupta, Subash Chander, Kulbhushan Singh, Manjeet Singh and Rakesh Kumar also spoke on the occasion.
