| PABBJ demands relief package for photographers working in parks | | | 
EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, May 20: Photographers’ Association Bagh-e-Bahu Jammu (PABBJ) has requested the Lieutenant Governor to initiate steps for taking care of the photographers’ fraternity of the Floriculture Department’s parks who are on the verge of starvation due to frequent closures of their business due to different reasons since August 2019.
Madan Lal Sharma, Chairman Photographers’ Association Bagh-e-Bahu Jammu, said that right from the formation of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir in 2019 to till date most of the parks and other business establishments remained almost closed due to curfews and lockdowns.
He said that the J&K Government recently announced a relief package for business establishments and transporters but ignored the hundreds of the photographers, who are working in the parks of the Floriculture Department.
Sharma said that they also deposit a share of their hard earnings in the government exchequer as government fee for photography in the Floriculture Department’s parks but since 2019 we are sitting idle as all through this period all the parks remained shut while the government failed to take notice of the photographers’ miserable condition.
He requested the administration and Lieutenant Governor to issue necessary directions to the authorities concerned to provide some relief in favour of the photographers working in parks on the pattern of other tourism promoters. |
