Many of us have crossed the age limit and lost hope. This is not just fraud; it\u2019s a grave injustice,\u201d said one protester.<\/p>\n<p>The protesters recalled how authorities had previously promised justice, but years have passed with no action. They maintained tha t the recruitment process was marred by manipulation and irregularities, with undeserving candidates accommodated while genuine aspirants were sidelined. \u201cUntil the guilty are punished, public trust in the system will remain shattered,\u201d they warned.<\/p>\n<p>In Kulgam, residents of Larkipora staged a similar protest over a six-day water shortage, blocking the main road to neighboring districts. Frustrated with the Jal Shakti (Public Health and Engineering) Department and their elected representative, they criticized the lack of action on basic civic needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Srinagar: Scores of job aspirants in Srinagar staged a strong protest against the Fire &amp; Emergency Services Department, condemning over a decade of inaction on a recruitment scam.
