The meeting chaired by vice-president, PHEEA, Jammu province, Som Nath, who while addressing appealed the employees and workers of the department to teach a lesson to all those cabinet Ministers who became a stubling block in the process of their regularization in the Forthcoming Assembly elections, as the workers have been hoping their regularization before Model Code of Conduct.
