Protests in Jammu against authorities’ anti-people policies
Jammu: Protests were held in Jammu, Indian illegally occupied Jammu Kashmir, against the authorities’ anti-people policies.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Muslim migrants in Jammu staged a sit-in protest, demanding immediate restoration of migration cards. The protesting migrants said that their migration cards were revoked 7-8 months ago.
“Since then, our families have been suffering. We cannot pay the school fees of our children. We became migrants in 1990 along with Kashmiri Pandits and others. Months ago, our migration cards were annulled and assistance was stopped. We conveyed our plight to the authorities but our community has not been given justice, so far,” they added.
Traders of Narwal-Kunjwani Bye Pass Road in Jammu staged a peaceful protest against National Highway Authority of India (NHAI).
Hundreds of traders assembled at Narwal and raised slogans against the Indian NHA authorities in Jammu and Kashmir for not listening to the voice of concerned traders of the area.
The protesting traders said that as a part of Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway, NHAI is constructing a flyover from Kunjwani to Narwal on binding walls which is not acceptable to the traders of the area as it will result in closure of their trade activities.
The protesting traders demanded the NHAI to immediately stop the construction work of the binding-wall flyover. “We are not against construction of flyovers but NHAI should also take care of the concerns of the traders and construct the flyover on pillars instead of binding-walls,” they added and warned of intensifying the protest by blocking the Highway if NHAI ignored their concern and demand.
