Daily Wagers and Asha Workers Protest in Jammu for Job Regularisation
Hundreds of daily wagers, including Asha workers, protested in Jammu on the first day of the 'Darbar Move' office reopening, demanding regularisation of their services and enforcement of the Minimum Wages Act. The protest, organized by the All J K Daily Wagers Sangharsh Samiti, involved a march towards the Civil Secretariat but was stopped by police barricades near the MLA Hostel, leading to a scuffle and the detention of the group's president, Sunny Kant Chib. The protesters have been campaigning for two years, urging Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to fulfill his promise of regularisation.
