Disgruntled JMC workers scattered garbage on roads In Jammu city Waste spotted outside residence of Speaker State Assembly and many important places 5/5/2016 11:39:27 PM Early Times Report Jammu, May 5: To register their protest, hundreds of safai karamcharis of Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) today scattered heaps of garbage at various places in the middle of the roads and even outside the residence of speaker of the state assembly Kavinder Gupta and many other important places to register their protest. The agitated workers of the JMC were outraged with the behaviour of the JMC authorities who alleged that they (authorities) were non serious to their problems and are not paying heed to their grievances at the proper platform. After failing to put across their point of view in a peaceful manner the employees of Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) went berserk and spread heaps of garbage across several main roads of city of temples to register their protest against authorities. Thereafter the agitated employees also staged a protest demonstration outside the office of JMC and threatened the authorities that their agitation would continue till their demands were met. Raising slogans in support of their demands and against the existing arrangement where some of the NGO's have been roped in to clear the city garbage, the employees underlined if the state govt wants to continue with the same arrangement then the same should be applicable in the Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC). President of the Safai Karamchari Sangh Rinku Gill said, the NGO system is only adopted in Jammu and not in Srinagar and thus the same needs to be abolished. Gill claimed they have been raising their voice for last 10 days but when no one in the JMC paid heed to their demands they were forced by the circumstances to resort to this form of protest. He and other trade union leaders maintained that they were not happy with the nature of protest but to highlight their demands they have been forced to resort to such tactics. Meanwhile Speaker of the State Assembly Kavinder Gupta urged the agitating employees to call off their strike and come to discuss the issue for seeking an amicable resolution of the problem.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
