Srinagar, March 18, 2022 (PPI-OT): In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, scores of consolidated paid workers and casual sanitary workers of Health Department staged a massive protest demonstration at Press Colony in Srinagar against the anti-people policies of the authorities.

The protesting workers, shouting slogans against the authorities, said that they had been facing a step-motherly approach from the authorities concerned. “We also have a right to live an honourable life. Give justice to us by implementing minimum wages act and regularizing our services,” they added.

Another agitated consolidated paid worker said that despite performing their duties from dawn to dusk, they have been facing the official apathy regarding their genuine demand.

“We have been religiously performing our duties even through these tough times of Covid pandemic and have to clear the clutter out of the hospitals and health facilities, however we have been met with injustice time and again,” he said.

“Even as the daily-wagers of all other departments are being paid minimum wages, we somehow fail to understand as to why we have been made an exception despite our work to keep the surroundings clean,” he added.
