Jammu: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, residents of Draman and Draj villages in Rajouri district staged a protest over poor electricity and drinking water supply, lack of proper road connectivity, and unfulfilled development promises.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the demonstrators gathered in Draman area of Kotranka, expressing strong resentment over the authorities\u2019 failure to provide basic civic amenities in their villages.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, bank employees under the banner of the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) held demonstrations across Jammu, Srinagar, and Leh, demanding the implementation of a five-day work week. Employee leaders said the long-pending demand seeks to address excessive workload, rising stress levels, and staff shortages in banks.<\/p>\n

Both protests reflect growing frustration among residents and employees over unaddressed grievances, highlighting the need for immediate administrative and policy-level interventions in the territory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
