60000 workers across the Jammu And Kashmir state are on strike if our demand got fulfilled by the Government soo why we will do protest and hit on streets yesterday concerned minister told us to withdrawn the strike your demands will be fulfilled but we denied it because we don’t have trust on it if they really want to fulfill our demand they should provide us it in written order or make announcement of it through media till that none of announcement had came from the side of government and nor anykind of our genuine demand got fulfilled yet.
She also demanded retirement incentives many of us are widows and where will we go after retirement and we need pension after our retirement soo that we can live our life smoothly.
