Srinagar: The laborers of (NREGA) of Kashmir on Monday staged a protest against the authorities for failing to release their salaries from past several months.
Dozens of NREGA laborers assembled in Srinagar’s press Enclave and chanted slogans in favour of their demands.
The laborers demanded immediate release of pending wages, which according to them are pending from past several months.
The protesting laborers said that they approached to the higher ups several times in the past but unfortunately nothing has been done in this regard.
“We are being forced to face hardships and to hit the streets to press for our rights. Our families are suffering due to the withholding of salaries from past several months,” the laborers said.
They later appealed the higher ups to look into the matter and release their wages at an earliest so that they as well as their families could heave a sigh of relief.
