JAMMU, May 30: All Sheep & Wool Workers Association, Kishtwar today staged a protest demonstration demanding release of pending salaries withheld for the last three months.

Ahmed also said that ‘Right to Wages’ is a fundamental right and there are specific mandatory directions contained in the Payment of Wages Act too.
He appealed to the Governor Administration for a solution to the grievances of the officials of Sheep Husbandry Department Kishtwar.
Due to non-disbursement of pay dues employees of District Sheep Husbandry Kishtwar are facing many financial problems and have decided not to celebrate Eid.
Arshad Ayub, Senior Assistant; Noor-ul-Amin Gagroo, Flock Supervisor; Mohd. Farooq Sheikh, Flock Supervisor; Zakir Hussain and others were also present in the protest.
