While addressing the protesters, the union president Mohammed Riaz Malik condemned the delaying policy of the State Government regarding the genuine issues of casual Labourers, Need based workers and ITI trained workers working in PWD(R&B) working since 1994.

These workers have appealed to the government to consider their regularization of their services so that dependents of their families may get a relief.
