The protest was organized under the banner of J&K Temporary Teachers Assoc-iation-2014, Jammu. Bhupinder Choudhary, general secretary of the Association, led the protest demonstration.
The protesting temporary teachers raised slogans against the State Government and in support of their demand. They were demanding continuation of their service from March 2015.
